• On the phone
• Out to lunch
• Do not disturb
Your phone also sends certain status information to the people watching you automatically—such as if
you're in a call, enabled Do Not Disturb on your phone, or your phone is offline because you restarted it.
For example, if you enable the Do Not Disturb feature on your phone, your availability automatically
updates to Do Not Disturb.
When you select a presence setting other than online, the setting scrolls under the time display on the
status bar, as shown next.
Note: Your Presence Status When You Enable and Disable the Do Not Disturb Feature on Your
Phone
If you select the status option Do Not Disturb, and then enable and disable the Do Not Disturb
feature on your phone, your status will change to Online.
To update your presence setting:
1 From Lines view, tap My Status. Or, tap Settings from Home view, and tap Features > Presence >
My Status.
2 From the My Status screen, tap the status you want.
Your new status is sent to phones watching you.
User Tip: How to Automatically Change Your Status When Your Phone is Idle
You can enable your phone to automatically set your status to Away if your phone is idle for a
certain length of time. After you touch the screen or press a key on your phone, your status
changes to Available again. To enable this feature, tap Settings from Home view, and tap
Basic > Preferences > Presence > Idle Timeout. From the Idle Timeout screen, enable an office
hours and/or off hours timeout period, and enter the number of minutes your phone should be
idle before your status changes to Away. For steps on how to set your office hours, see
