Tuning

Hi I am very new to sax (as in I bought my first one yesterday) and I have a small problem. I cannot remember what notes the guy in the shop told me were on each key when he gave me a brief tutorial and I haven't managed to get in contact with the person that will be teaching me yet. This is a problem because I cannot tune the instrument to the correct pitch, and therefore cannot teach myself scales by bashing out the notes on a piano then playing them on the sax, which was my intention until I get lessons. Could someone please tell me the notes of the basic 7 positions on a tenor sax. As in open (no keys pressed down), 1st finger left hand pressed down, 1st and 2nd finger left hand, 1st 2nd and 3rd finer left hand etc etc Thanks
