Add a Screen Name
Before you can use AIM on your device, you must register an AOL Instant Messenger screen name with the
service (instructions follow below). Every name you register will be added to the Sign On screen in a pop-up
menu, like the one shown below:
If you don’t already have an AOL or AIM account
, no problem! The instructions below tell you how to get a
new account too.
Tip:
You can only add one screen name at a time (just repeat the steps to add others). Here’s the steps:
1
Enter AOL Instant Messenger from the Jump screen.
• If you’re not already signed on, click
<New Account>
from the
Screen Name
pop-up, then click the
Sign
On
button.
• If you’re already signed in, open the menu and click
New Account
[
+
N
].
2
The New Account dialog box opens:
Click the
Create New Screen Name
button if you don’t have an AOL or AIM account; you’ll be taken to the
new AIM Registration page via the device Web Browser.
3
Complete the online forms that appear on your screen. When you’re done, you’ll be returned to the AIM Sign
On screen, with your new screen name showing as one of the options in the
Screen Name
pop-up menu.
