  1. The GC-1000 allows time zone selection using 5 dip switches.  The Heathkit
  2. manual explains that a selection is made by adding the value of the
  3. switches, eg: switch 1 + switch 4 = 5 hours west of UTC.  However, this
  4. method works only for points west of UTC.  For those areas of the world
  5. whose time zone is a positive offset (east of UTC) the calculation of
  6. switch settings is not as simple.  Instead, consult the table below for the
  7. complete range of settings available.  Note that the selection is limited.
  8. Cities observing 1/2 hour offset (Tehran: + 3 1/2, New Delhi: + 5 1/2) and
  9. others outside of the range -11 to +12 hours can not be accomodated
  10. directly.  Thus, in these cases, the time can not be displayed by the
  11. clock.
  12.  
  13. The software provides a wider range of settings and can thus accurately
  14. portray the local time for all time zones in the world.
