[TenTec] OMNI VI question

I ordered an Eagle and while I wait for it I bought an Omni VI with Option
3. Or so I thought....

It was not. The guy who sold it is now trying to tell me that it was Opt 1
and he is not very apologetic.

As far as I can tell it may be just an Omni VI with no upgrade. When I hold
the LOCK button it doesn't take me into a 1,2,3 select-able menu. I am not
sure which buttons were changed with stickers. It still has a functional
CLK button that changes the clock. I think that was incorporated into the
menu with the upgrade.

What buttons changed? Is there an easy way to tell if Opt 1 is there or
not? The two IC's on the logic board still say Model 563. The one that says
logic  is Version 2.18-150

I also obtained a 564 Omni 6+ with matching PS. It's a keeper. I've been
told to keep the 563 for parts for the 564 since they are becoming scarce.

I apologize for just asking instead of looking extensively through the
archive. All that I have found so far was just describing the differences
of the various options.
