Update Your Buddy Status
You can update your status on your phone so that contacts can monitor your status from their phones. Your
updated status is displayed in the status bar on your phone, and your contacts are automatically notified of
your new status.
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.
To update your presence setting:
1 Select My Status, or navigate to Settings > Features > Presence > My Status.
On VVX 1500 phones, navigate to Menu > Features > Presence > My Status.
2 From the My Status screen, select your desired status.
Automatically Update Your Buddy Status
You can enable your phone to automatically set your status to Away when 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 your phone to automatically change your status when you’re away:
1 Navigate to Settings > Basic > Preferences > Presence > Idle Timeout.
On VVX 1500 phones, navigate to Menu > Settings > Basic > Preferences > Presence > Idle
Timeout.
2 From the Idle Timeout screen, enable an Office Hours and Off Hours timeout, 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 the section Change Your Office Hours.
Note: Your presence status changes when you enable and disable the Do Not Disturb feature
If you select the status option Do Not Disturb, and enable or disable the Do Not Disturb feature on
your phone, your status changes to Online.
