Tips for Installing the Taillight

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.

• Select a mount that best fits 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.

• Install the device correctly.

The device faces backward and is parallel to the road. The

Garmin

logo is right-side up.

• Go for a test ride during the day in a safe environment.

based on your seat post shape, and

place the rubber pad on the back of the universal mount.

mount notches

Press down slightly and turn the device clockwise until it

locks into place.

Installing the Seat-Post Mount

Use the hex key to remove the screw

from the seat-post

connector

Place a rubber pad around the seat post, if necessary:

• If the seat post diameter is from 27 to 28.6 mm, use the

thicker pad.

• If the seat post diameter is from 30.4 to 31 mm, use the

thinner pad.

a rubber pad.

NOTE:

You should align the contours on the rubber pad with

the grooves on the inside of the seat-post connector.

slide on the seat post, or to a maximum torque specification

of 3 lbf-in. (0.3 N-m). You should check the tightness of the
