An incoming IM message that arrives while another chat is active is announced by a tone.
It will be appended to the IM History List as an unread message and the unread count
status icon is incremented.
Reading and Managing Stored Messages
IM history is stored under Messages > Instant Messages by contact. The History list displays a list of
contacts you have had IM sessions with since the last time the handset was turned on, starting with the
most recent.
When you turn your handset off, the IM history list is cleared. Only IM chats that you have
made during the current handset power cycle are displayed in the IM history list.
To view IM chat history:
• Highlight the cell of the contact you wish to view and press OK. An IM chat window opens with the
top window displaying all chats with that contact since the handset was turned on.
To resume an IM session:
• Highlight the cell of the contact you wish to chat with and press OK. An IM chat window opens.
To delete IM contact history:
• To delete an IM contact history from the IM history list, highlight the contact’s cell and press the
Delete soft key.
To add an IM contact to the Contact Directory:
You may receive IM chats from people who are not in your Contact Directory. You can add these people
to the Contact Directory from the IM history list.
1 Highlight the contact and press the Add Contact soft key to open the Contact Directory entry
screen. Certain fields are populated.
2 Enter additional contact information in the blank fields. See Chapter 6: How to Use the Contact
Directory.
