[Elecraft] K3 ATU tutorial help

I have just installed the ATU in my K3 and can't seem to find an 
explanation or tutorial on how it should be operated. I am used to the 
ICOM tuners and they automatically retuned and recalled settings as you 
changed frequencies and bands. The K3 ATU seems to recall previous 
settings, but only if I first manually force it to tune on a particular 
frequency. I must be missing something, but the manual or the K3 web 
site has almost no information on how the tuner is supposed to function. 
I have also searched the archives of this reflector, but the subject 
doesn't seem to be addressed anywhere. Maybe my new tuner is broke? Just 
how automatic is this tuner? Is there some process I have to go through 
to help the tuner 'learn'. I have it set up in the CONFIG menu, but it 
just doesn't work quite like I expected it to.
Thanks, Charlie
