to the West Coast (Pacific Standard Time) to be downloaded, the track time would be displayed as starting
at 1:00 PM. That is, the time the track recording was started was 1:00 PM Pacific Standard Time, which is

The SSABR G2 unit and software have extensive error correction mechanisms and algorithms to ensure
that recorded data can be recovered in the event that the flash memory in the SSABR G2 unit is damaged or
left in an incomplete state because of a sudden power failure. If the flash contains erroneous or incomplete
information, the Main Window will indicate which tracks are affected by listing “Track Entry is
Incomplete” in their location on the track list window. These incomplete entries will not prevent the image
file from being downloaded. The Wave File Conversion Utility and Image File Player will take the steps
necessary to re-index the table of contents so that all valid data can be recovered.
