Power 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 Online again. To enable this feature, select Settings from Home view,
and select 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.

Setting Up and Managing a Buddy List

If you want to monitor other people, you need to make sure they're in your Buddy list. You add
people to your Buddy list from your Contact Directory; therefore, make sure the person you want
to monitor exists in your Contact Directory.
To update your Buddy list:
1 From your Contact Directory, select the contact you want to start or stop monitoring.
2 From the contact's information screen, press Edit.
From the Edit Contact screen, using the up and down arrow keys to locate Watch Buddy,
and enable or disable the field. The default setting is Disabled. When enabled, the contact
is added to your Buddy list so you can monitor the contact's status. When disabled, the
contact is removed from your Buddy list, and you won't be able to monitor the contact's
status.
3 Press Save.
If you enabled the Watch Buddy setting for a contact, the contact will display in your Buddy list.
To view your Buddy list, press More, and then Buddies from Lines view.
Power Tip: Dialing Buddies
You can quickly dial a buddy by accessing your Buddy list. Using the up and down arrow
keys to locate the buddy, and press Dial.

Blocking Contacts from Viewing Your Status

You can prevent someone from monitoring you by blocking the contact in your Contact
Directory. If you unblock the contact, the contact can add you to their Buddy list and monitor
you.
