AIM
Mobile takes advantage of the alerts built into your phone to let
you know when buddies have signed on and messages have been received.
The type of alert you receive depends on your phone and its alert settings.
Depending on the phone and browser version, the alert could be an audio
tone, vibration, icon, and/or flashing LED.
These
alerts must be enabled using the setup options for the phone. They cannot
be changed using AIM. AIM only takes advantage of their availability
on the phone.
Buddy
Alerts
Get notified when a buddy you want to contact signs on. Highlight an
offline buddy name, select MENU, then select Set Alert for
buddyname. When that buddy goes online, AIM generates an
alert and lists a new message in the Conversations list.
Alerts
are set separately for each buddy in your Buddy ListTM, and you can temporarily
disable all alerts by changing your status to "Away."
Message
Alerts
When you receive a message, you are always alerted at the highest possible
level with either an audio tone, vibration, etc., or some combination.
In addition to other alerts, many phones may display "Message from
AIM. View or Skip?"
To
display the new message select VIEW. On some phones you may have
to select the new message from the Conversations list. If you are composing
a message when this alert arrives, you may want to select Skip
to prevent losing what you've typed. If you are redisplaying the conversation
when this alert arrives, the new message may appear under [previous
msgs].
Disable
Alerts by Changing Your Status to "Away"
When you set "My Status" to "Away (Do Not Disturb)," these
alerts are temporarily disabled, and your buddies will see an "Away"
icon next to your name in their Buddy ListTM. If they send you a message,
they will receive a message that you are currently unavailable. When
your status is "Away," you still receive all messages that
are sent to you.
