[Elecraft] K160RX alignment question

My construction of the K2 is progressing, SSB and noise limiter are 
installed and I installed the 160 M module this afternoon.  Just after 
sunset the 160 meter band was full of activity.
I have a concern about the 160 meter alignment.
Manual page 9. step 2.  Set VFO for 1800.10 kHz
	Select CAL PLL, hold EDIT a second time, takes about 2 minutes to see 
END.

I did the above procedure but did not get END.  All that happened when 
I held EDIT was the disappearance of the "annunciators" which were at A 
B RIT and XIT.  When I let go of the EDIT after about 2 1/2 minutes I 
had a short  indication on the LCD with:  07093.52 and right after that 
the message:  Info 232.

Looking in the K2 manual "info 232"   states CAL PLL on wrong band. 
INFO 232 is most likely displayed when using CAL PLL without first 
selecting 40 meters.

Does all of the above mean that I first have to select 40 meters before 
doing 160 meters.  The instruction manual for the K160RX does not 
mention 40 meters CAL PLL????  Also what is the meaning of  07093.52 , 
which briefly flashed on the LCD,  It really was brief it took me 3 
tries to get the number correctly.

Any help would be appreciated.  Wishing everyone a Happy New Years.
