■ My presence (network service)
With the presence service, you can share your presence status with other users
with compatible devices and access to the service. Presence status includes your
availability, status message, and personal logo. Other users who have access to
the service and who request your information are able to see your status. The
requested information is shown in
Subscribed names in the viewers’ Contacts
menu. You can personalize the information that you want to share with others
and control who can see your status.
Before you can use presence, you must subscribe to the service. To check the

password, and the settings for the service. See "Configuration" on page 51.
