[Elecraft] KX3 and its "TUNE" selection.

Hello,

Yesterday, I was re-reading the KX3-manual to prepare for putting into use a magnetic-loop-antenna.

The KX3 manual, on page 14, has this wording "TUNE is used to put out a CW signal at the power level selected by the PWR control.".
This is new territory for me as I have never have used  "TUNE" or "XMIT" button.

Neither the manual nor the great book "The Elecraft KX3-Portable" by Fred KE7X (SK) have answers to my questions, which are:
1. From where does this CW signal come?
2. What information is in that CW signal?
The concern I have is the CW signal will get out from my mag-loop-antenna into the "ether", so my call-sign needs to be there to satisfy the FCC.

TIA for any assistance.
