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

®
device. This
list provides an overview of the installation and setup tasks.

NOTE: When you purchase the Varia RTL and RDU devices
together, they are already paired.

not interfere with the safe operation of your bike.
