Hi, again. All.
So, here is what the TS590 manual says about activating the auto zero-beat
function. I’m usually pretty good at figuring out these things, but the
instructions are a bit unclear to me.
If anyone can help decode them, I’d appreciate that.

AUTO ZERO-BEAT
Use Auto Zero-beat before transmitting to tune in a CW station. Auto
Zero-beat
automatically and exactly matches your transmit frequency with the station
you
are receiving. Neglecting to do this will reduce your chances of being heard
by
the other station.
1 Tune to the CW signal using the Tuning control.
2 Press [CW T. (AGC OFF)] to start Auto Zero-beat while CW is selected for
the
operating mode.
• "CW TUNE" appears.
• Your reception frequency automatically changes so that the pitch (tone) of
the received signal exactly matches the TX sidetone/ RX pitch frequency that
you have selected. Refer to "TX SIDETONE/ RX PITCH FREQUENCY" {below}.
• When matching is completed, "CW TUNE" disappears.
• If matching is unsuccessful, the previous frequency is restored.
3 To quit Auto Zero-beat, press [CW T. (AGC OFF)] or [CLR].
Note:
? When using Auto Zero-beat, the matching error is normally within ±5 Hz.
