The recorder adds track marks at the point you set the time interval and from that point the recorder adds a track mark whenever the time interval has elapsed.

Example: Eight minutes of recording has been completed when the Auto Time Stamp time interval is set to 5 minutes. A track mark will be added at the 8- minute point (after the start of recording) and after each 5-minute interval thereafter.

When the time interval set for Auto Time Stamp exceeds the elapsed recording time:

The recorder adds track marks when the set Auto Time Stamp time interval has elapsed.

Example: Three minutes of recording has been completed when the Auto Time Stamp time interval is set to 5 minutes. A track mark will be added at the 5- minute point (after the start of recording) and after each 5-minute interval thereafter.
