[Elecraft] ATU and Bandpass Filter

A question about the K2. Taking it to the club for FD and I have a bandpass filter (CF-20) which says "Never use radio's internal tuner with filter." I have the internal ATU installed. Is there a way to bypass that? Or should I just use the "main antenna" jack (manual says never use if ATU
