ICMs are limited to a maximum of 2 minutes. If the ICM is more than 2 minutes, the system
“beeps” twice and hang up; or if the Answering System’s memory runs out, the Answering
System announces,
“Memory full,”
and hangs up.

System starts answering a call, press the

Select switch to 3R, 5R or TS (TOLL SAVER)
