selection of autopilot before vertical mode

Hi,
Can somebody please confirm the FMA annunciations upon selecting autopilot, in the climb out, after having hit the HDG select but before selecting climb thrust and FLCHG/VNAV (ie at about 700ft AGL).
I have a feeling it will give VS at the rate at time of AP selection and obviously if this is a high rate then there will be very little in way of speed protection.
Any help appreciated,
Many thanks
