[Elecraft] T1 Operational Question

[Lynn W. Taylor, WB6UUT]

I don't know the T1 either, but the design seems simple enough: it's 
meant to run on batteries, so one has to wake it up to do the tuning.

Does it need the band information to tune, or does it just need to be 
"tickled" somehow to wake up the tuner?

I see a few buttons that I'm guessing would "wake" the tuner and then 
it'd match the load and go back to sleep?
