Ken-Tech T4660 Bathroom Digital Atomic Clock
OVERVIEW
NOTE: Your new radio controlled atomic clock will automatically receive and set itself to the split second exact time broadcast by radio from the US National Time Observatory near Denver, Colorado. The time signal is broadcast at intervals, and as radio reception is better at night, it may take overnight for your clock to receive the signal.
- If the clock it too near to an interfering device, such as a TV set or computer, or if it is in a shielded or difficult reception area, it can make it harder to get the radio time signal.
- Your radio controlled atomic clock is equipped with a large, pliable suction cup for mounting on glass, tile, or any smooth surface. Turn the suction cup mount to unscrew it from the clock. You can moisten it for better adhesion. Locate it as desired in your bathroom. Press to stick, set the clock as in the instructions and screw the body of the clock back on. As you tighten, it draws the suction cup for better adhesion.
IMPORTANT: In the US, it is necessary to set the time zone (Pacific, Mountain, Central or Eastern). To set the time zone, press the MODE key to enter the alarm time mode. Then consecutive pressing of the SET key while observing the indicator on the map icon of the US in the upper right corner of the LCD display will let you set it for your proper zone.
- The clock automatically adjusts itself for daylight saving time (DST) when it goes into effect. If you live in one of the few areas that do not observe DST, you will have to manually reset the clock.

Time Setting
Select the Time Zone (For USA Only)
Make sure the time zone is already set to appropriate location. The default time zone is Pacific. If your location is out of Pacific zone, please do the following steps:
- In Normal Time Mode, press the MODE button to enter the alarm time mode.
- Press the SET button to change the time zone. P – Pacific, M – Mountain, C – Central, E – Eastern.
Signal Strength Indicator for Radio Controlled Time Setting
The signal indicator displays signal strength in 3 levels. Wave segment flashing means time signals are being received. If the indicator shows two incomplete waves, the signal quality is poor. One incomplete wave means this signal quality is acceptable. One complete wave means the signal quality is excellent. If the clock receives the signal successfully, a solid signal strength symbol appears on the display. After the time signal is received, the signal strength symbol will no longer appear.
NOTE: You may use the RECEIVE button to receive the time signal manually. The Receive Mode stops automatically after 6-12 minutes. The Receive Mode consumes more battery power and will reduce the battery lifetime.

How to Fix the Clock on Smooth Surface
NOTE: When tightening the suction cup; DO NOT over tighten. As you screw the clock onto the suction cup, the grip of the suction cup improves. If you tighten it too much, the plastic screw will break. If the clock is not at the desired angle, unscrew the clock and rotate the suction cup. Try tightening it again until the proper angle is achieved.
The radio controlled atomic clock is equipped with a large pliable cupula for mounting on glass, tile or any smooth surface. In order to mount the clock with better adhesion, please do exactly as directed:
- Make sure the place you choose to mount the clock on is smooth and clean.
- Turn cupula to unscrew it from the clock, then fix the cupula slightly on the smooth surface.
- Put the bottom cover of the clock through the pole along with the cupula.
- Tightly screw the body of the clock on the pole along with the cupula.
- Rotate the clock by spinning out the body of the clock counterclockwise and slightly pulling the pliable tip on the cupula.
- Keeping vacuum in the space between cupula and smooth surface is required for good adhesion.
