Put the rig in CW mode. Press the ST button and you'll hear the side
tone. Now press the CW button again, and the tone goes off. You can now
use the keyer and sidetone without putting a signal on the air. See page
3-4 of your manual, section 3-1.5, "Built in iambic keyer." This mode is
intended for keyer speed and weighting adjustment, but you can use it for
practice, too
Press ENTER or ST again to get out of keyer adjust mode.
