Not able to add timestamp to minicom readings

Question

I am using Ubuntu 14.04 64bit. I am using minicom to capture bluetooth data. The data is displayed fine, but when I try to add timestamp using Ctrl+A followed by N.

I don't see any time stamp on the console. I checked the minicom Ubuntu documetation for 14.04. It says that Ctrl+A followed by N is to be used for timestamp. I also checked the settings using minicom -s, but I couldn't find any thing to activate the timestamp.

You can type Ctrl+A then N to enable timestamp. Do this again to cycle between different modes of timestamp

Quoting the Ubuntu man pages

N Toggle between three states, whether each line is prefixed with current date and time, a timestamp is added every second, or no timestamps.

Type Ctrl+A+Z, then a window will be displayed there type N.
