[TenTec] Pound sign (#) on Jupiter screen

[Winston]

It’s not a whole bunch of #s, but a single one in the right corner. It doesn’t seem to cause any problems. I’m just curious. I could find no mention of it in the manual.
I suspect now, as suggested above, it means the settings have been recorded into memory.
