Getting Started  
Getting Started  
To use AIM on your phone you need an AIM screen name. This can be an AOL, AIM®, Netscape®,  
or CompuServe 2000® screen name. If you do not have an AIM-compatible screen name, get  
one free at www.aol.com/aim/wireless.  
In addition to an AIM screen name, you need a Samsung R225M phone with service from T-  
Mobile. To get a phone or find additional information, visit the T-Mobile web site.  
Navigate to the AIM service  
To start the AOL Instant Messenger, scroll to AIM on the main menu (or press the Menu softkey  
and then 7), then press the Select softkey:  
Press the Menu softkey, then  
press 7 to navigate to the main  
AIM screen. Then press the  
Select softkey to access the AIM  
menus.  
Use the AIM menus to sign on to the AIM service, send, receive, and respond to instant mes-  
sages, access your Buddy List feature, and change AIM settings to fit your needs.

Signing On to the AIM Service  
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.

Using the Buddy List Feature  
Using the Buddy List Feature  
If you use the AIM service on your PC, the entire Buddy List feature is not downloaded to your  
phone. Instead, the first time you sign on to the AIM service from your phone, a Mobile Device  
group is created and 30 screen names from your Buddy List feature are moved into this group.  
Think of the Mobile Device group as your Buddy List feature that you use from your phone.  
When you use the AIM service with your phone, you can communicate with the contacts you keep  
in your Buddy List feature in much the same way that you would from your computer. If you are  
already an AOL, Netscape, or CompuServe 2000® member, or if you use the AIM service on your  
personal computer, up to 30 screen names from your Buddy List feature are accessible to you  
from your mobile phone.  
In addition, when you sign on to the AIM service from a mobile phone, anyone who is using AIM  
version 4.8.2646 or higher, or AOL version 7.0 or later, will see a Mobile Device icon  
appear  
next to your screen name both in their Buddy List window and in the Instant Messaging window.  
This icon lets others know that you are using the AIM service from a mobile phone, and that it  
may take longer to type messages, or that your messages may be shorter in length.  
Buddy status icons  
The buddy status icons give you information at a glance about a screen name.  
Icon Description  
An online screen name appears with no icon next to it.  
This screen name is offline and can't exchange IMs.

You are declining messages from this screen name during  
the current AIM session.  
This screen name has set an Away message: the AIM user  
is online but currently unavailable for instant messaging.

Using the Buddy List Feature on Your Computer  
Using the Buddy List Feature on Your Computer  
If you use the AIM or AOL service on your desktop computer, you know  
that the Buddy List feature is a window that displays the AOL Instant  
Messenger screen names for your friends, family members, and co-  
workers that you define.  
The Buddy List feature enables you to maintain groups of contacts  
(friends, family, co-workers, and others) to communicate with any-  
time, anywhere. Whenever these contacts sign on, their screen names  
appear as active in your Buddy List window, allowing you to communi-  
cate with them instantly.  
The Buddy List feature is available through a variety of products,  
including the AOL desktop application, the AIM service for your PC, the  
AIM Express service on the Web, and on a number of wireless devices,  
such as wireless phones and PDAs. With the Buddy List feature, you  
can maintain groups of buddies (friends, family, co-workers, and oth-  
ers) to communicate with anytime, anywhere. Whenever these bud-  
dies sign on, their screen names appear as active in your Buddy List  
window, allowing you to communicate with them instantly.  
On your desktop PC, groups are used to organize your screen names in  
your Buddy List feature; for example, Friends, Family, and Co-Workers  
are the default groups in the Buddy List window.  
What is the Mobile Device group?  
On your PC, groups are used to organize your screen names in your  
Buddy List feature; for example, Friends, Family, and Co-Workers are  
the default groups in the Buddy List window.  
When you use the AIM service with your Internet-ready phone, a spe-  
cial category called the Mobile Device group is created in the Buddy  
List you use on your PC. This Mobile Device group can hold up to 30  
screen names for you to use when instant messaging from your phone.  
Just as you group the screen names in your Buddy List feature into categories like Buddies, Fam-  
ily, or Co-Workers, the Mobile Device group is a group for your screen names that you converse  
with when you're on a phone or other wireless device.  
Maintain your Mobile Device group  
The AIM contacts available from your mobile phone are represented on your PC Buddy List feaure  
as the Mobile Device group. If you haven't already created a Mobile Device group in the Buddy  
List feature on your PC, this group is created the first time you sign on to the AIM service on your  
phone.  
An easy way to manage your Mobile Device group is to use the AIM or AIM Express service on  
your desktop computer. This way, you can see the complete list at a glance and edit the group  
using an intuitive, graphical interface.

Using the Buddy List Feature on Your Computer  
About the Mobile Device icon  
When you connect to the AIM service from your phone, anyone who is using AIM version  
4.8.2646 or higher, or AOL version 7.0 or later, will see a Mobile Device icon appear next to your  
screen name both in their Buddy List window and in the Instant Messaging window.  
The Mobile Device icon lets others know that you are viewing and writing messages using a wire-  
less phone. Your friends will then understand that it may take you longer to type messages, or  
that your messages may be shorter and use more shorthand language or abbreviations.  
If you are an AOL member and you do not want the Mobile Device icon to appear, you can disable  
it from the AOL 7.0 Buddy List window. Click Setup, Preferences, and then in the Buddy List tab  
uncheck the box labeled "Allow other members to see that I am using a mobile device."  
If you are using the AIM desktop client version 4.8.2591 or higher, select MyAIM, Edit Options,  
and then Edit Preferences. Then, select the Privacy category and uncheck the box labeled  
"Allow other members to see that I am using a mobile device."

On wireless phones, T9 Text Input enables you to take advantage of advanced wireless communi-  
cation services such as messaging, e-mail, Web access, contacts, calendar, notes, task lists, and  
more.  
How T9 works  
By using the letters grouped on each of the phone keys and a  
highly compressed database, T9 software requires just one key  
press per letter, and quickly recognizes the most commonly  
used word of a key sequence.  
For example, to enter the word "how," you can spell out the  
word by pressing only three keys, 4-6-9. T9 Text Input knows  
that the most commonly used word with that numeric sequence  
is "how." If more than one word share the same numeric  
sequence, T9 software provides the most commonly used word,  
with the ability to scroll to the next most commonly used word  
by pressing the 0 (NEXT) key.  
Adding words to the T9 dictionary  
On phones with T9 Text Input, you can also add words to the T9 user dictionary. To do this, com-  
plete the following steps:  
1. Start in T9 mode, and then change to alpha mode.  
2. Type the word using multi-tap mode (make sure you enter a space after the word), then  
switch back to T9 mode. You are now able to type the word using T9 mode. You may need  
to press the 0 (NEXT) key if more than one word shares the same key sequence.  
3. Save your screen name and password for quicker re-entry.  
The AIM service ignores spaces in screen names. When you are typing a screen name that is a  
compound word such as "SurfSamSurf" or "CaseyPeete" using T9 Text Input, just press the space  
key to insert a space between words instead of compounding the word. The AIM service will  
ignore the spaces and interpret the screen name correctly.

Using T9 Text Input to Type Messages  
Use multi-tap text input  
Prior to T9 technology, typing messages on a wireless phone was extremely tedious and required  
using the standard "multi-tap" method for entering text. Multi-tapping requires multiple key  
presses per letter (for example, 3 presses of the 6 key to get the letter "o").  
To enter the letter "s", for example, press the 7 key 4 times; to enter the letter "x", press the 9  
key twice. Don't be afraid to experiment. To correct errors, press CLEAR or BACK key. If succes-  
sive letters employ the same key, pause a moment or two until the cursor moves to the right.  
For example, to type "hello," you press the following keys:  
4-4 for "h"  
3-3 for "e"  
5-5-5 for "l"  
5-5-5 for "l"  
6-6-6 for "o"  
To enter a number, you must first cycle through all the letters represented by a key. For example,  
pressing the 2-key four times will display the number "2."  
For basic symbols such as a period, keep pressing the 1 key until the desired symbol is displayed.
