the tone feature is pretty simple.
You press and hold the SWR readout button for a few seconds and it activates
a tone which will start when you put RF through the meter.
This is useful when using a tuner so that you can tune until the tone is at
its lowest pitch.
The Power readout button has the same feature except it has a tone that
rises in pitch with increased rf power output and decreases with lower
power...this is useful when tuning up an amplifier for maximum PEP.
hope this helps.  They really are great meters.
