[Elecraft] KAT500 Antenna Grounding

I didn't find the answer in the manual, so I'll ask here.   I do see in 
the manual where bleed resistors are applied to the unused antenna 
terminals to bleed off static charges.  {page 15, Antenna 
Selector......... etc}

My question, do the relays in the tuner take the center conductor of all 
three antenna terminals to ground when power is removed? I see that it 
switches to ANT 1 when power is off.    I suppose I could remove the 
covers and explore for myself, and I'll do just that if no one confirms 
one way or the other.   Anyone have a schematic?  That would be nice.
