Default drake CW TX sidebands? (newbie ?)

I just aquired a Drake TR4c.

It's my first "boatanchor" rig... and am still getting use to it.

Question;

In CW, the the Sideband switch must be on the "X" side to TX.... But as
I cycle thru the bands, some (80,15,10m)are on the wrong sideband (as
shown by the indicator light).

Is this a problem? The manual says the freq is shifted during CW TX but
does the Drake TX on the normal ( upper above 40m ) sidebands
Or does it shift to the sideband as indicated on by the light??
Which would make it wrong on the above listed bands.

thanks in advance
