Updating Your Status 
Update your status so that other people can monitor your status from their phones. When you update 
your status, your status is automatically sent to the people watching you. 
You can update your status to one of the following: 
  Online 
  Busy 
  Be right back 
  Away 
  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 are in a call, if you enabled Do Not Disturb on your phone, or if 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 displayed 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 changes 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.
