World Time
� The UTC differentials associated with each city code are used to calculate World Time Mode times, based on the time you set for any one of the World Time cities. � The UTC differential is a value that indicates the time difference between a reference point in Greenwich, England and the time zone where a city is located. � The letters �UTC� is the abbreviation for �Coordinated Universal Time�, which is the world-wide scientific standard of timekeeping. It is based upon carefully maintained atomic (cesium) clocks that keep time accurately to within microseconds. Leap seconds are added or subtracted as necessary to keep UTC in sync with the Earth�s rotation.
