If you're a first-time fax machine user, fax operation might seem a little
mysterious. Soon, you'll recognize the unusual fax tones on your phone
line, and be able to send and receive faxes easily.

Fax Tones and Handshake

When someone is sending a fax, the fax machine sends fax calling tones,
(CNG tones) — soft, intermittent beeps at 4-second intervals. You'll hear
them when you dial and press
after dialing. During that time, the sending machine must begin the
"handshake" with the receiving machine. Each time you use automatic
procedures to send a fax, you are sending CNG tones over the phone line.
You'll soon learn to listen for these soft beeps each time you answer a
phone on your fax line, so you can know if you are receiving a fax message.
The receiving fax responds with fax receiving tones—loud, chirping sounds.
A receiving fax chirps for about 40 seconds over the phone line, and the
screen displays RECEIVING. If your fax machine is set to the FAX mode, it
will answer every call automatically with fax receiving tones. Even if the
other party hangs up, your fax machine continues to send the "chirps" for
about 40 seconds, and the screen continues to display RECEIVING. To
cancel the receiving mode, press
