The device can improve situational awareness. It is not a 

replacement for cyclist attentiveness and good judgement. 

Always use your best judgment, and operate the bicycle in a 

safe manner.

Getting Started

You can use the Varia RTL (radar taillight) with the Varia RDU 

(radar display unit) or with your compatible Garmin

®

 device. This 

list provides an overview of the installation and setup tasks.
• Charge the device (

).

• Install the universal mount (

Installing the Universal Mount

page 1

).

• If you are using the Varia RDU, install it on your bike stem or 

handlebar (

Installing the Varia RDU Device

, page 2

).

NOTE: 

When you purchase the Varia RTL and RDU devices 

together, they are already paired.

• If you are using an Edge

®

 1030 device, pair the devices

Tips for Installing the Device

The Varia RTL device includes a taillight and micro radar that 

can detect approaching vehicles up to 140 meters away.
• Select a secure location to mount the device where it does 

not interfere with the safe operation of your bike.

• Mount the device as high on the seat post as possible for 

optimal light visibility and radar detection.

NOTE: 

The mount surface should be vertical. There is a 15-

degree angle between vertical and a typical seat post.

• Mount the Varia RTL511 device on the seat post 250 mm to
