Prompting for #TIMES (#T?). When the calculator displays

P:;0HFL#T8#, it is prompting you for the number of times the current flow occurs. If all your cash flows are different (#TIMES always 1), then

you don’t need the P:;0HF prompt. You can turn the prompting for #TIMES on and off by pressing qin the CFLO menu. This

produces a brief message: either P:;0HF 52E05:;<=I EGG, or P:;0HF 52E05:;<=I E<.

While prompting is off, all cash flows you enter will have #TIMES = 1.

When you are viewing a cash-flow list with the #TIMES prompting off, the calculator displays only those #TIMES values that are not 1.

*The maximum #TIMES for each cash flow is 999.
