The taillight disconnects from the Varia RDU 

Device

 WARNING

If the taillight is not connected or sending data to the Varia RDU 

device, Garmin recommends that you stop riding and check the 

devices in a safe location.

If the threat level LED is solid red and the REAR LED is off, the 

taillight is not connected to the Varia RDU device.
• Turn both devices off, and turn them back on.

You can check the battery level when you turn the devices 

back on. The taillight LEDs fill horizontally to indicate the 

battery level.
