Signing On to the AIM Service
Using AIM Service on the Samsung R225M 5
Signing On to the AIM Service
You can choose to sign on to the AIM service in two ways: manually or automatically. The first
time you sign on to AIM, you sign on manually—that is, by using the keypad to type your screen
name and password. You can continue to sign on manually each time you sign on to AIM on your
phone or you can set your phone to use your screen name and password to sign on automatically.
Sign on manually
To sign on to the AIM service by typing your screen name and password manually, complete the
following steps:
1. On the phone handset, press the Menu softkey, and then press 7. The AIM Offline menu
appears.
2. Select Sign On and press the Select softkey.
Type your screen name by pressing the key associated with each letter until desired letter
appears. For instance, to type the letter "c," press the 2 key three times.
3. When your screen name is entered, press the OK softkey.
4. Type your password and press the OK softkey.
Type your password the same way you typed your screen name, but remember to press
the Case softkey when changing from lower to uppercase. As you type, each character
appears briefly, and then, for privacy, the characters are replaced with asterisks (*). After
you sign on, the AIM service retrieves your Buddy List®, indicating online and offline
screen names.
Note: Remember, your password is case-sensitive—if you created your
password with both upper- and lowercase letters, you must type it
this way during Sign On.
Sign on to AIM using multiple devices
Signing on to the AIM service affects any other AIM session that you may have started using the
same screen name. When using the AIM and AOL services, you can sign on to both services with
the same screen name; however, any messages you receive will be displayed by the AOL service.
When using the AIM service or the AIM Express service, signing on to one device will sign you off
a session on another device. For example, if you use the AIM service on your PC, and then sign on
with the same screen name on your phone, the AIM session on your PC will be signed off.
