Nothing to worry about Rick, it simply means that CW QRQ is on. It's a menu item and you can easily turn it off by holding the "MENU" key down long enough to get into the CONFIG menu. Once there, turn the VFO B knob until you find CW QRQ and if it says "ON" turn the main VFO knob until it says "OFF". If you leave it on, nothing bad will happen and the firmware is smart enough to shut it off when the QRQ function would interfere with something in the operation. If it's ON, full break-in (QSK) on CW will allow hearing between CW elements up to 99 words per minute (wish I could send/copy that fast - LOL).
When CW QRQ is on, the + sign is displayed and when it's off, it isn't. You probably have an older version of the manual, though I'm not sure it's in the latest ones.
