Radar Data Screen

WARNING

The device can improve situational awareness. It is not a replacement for cyclist attentiveness and good judgement. Always maintain awareness of your surroundings, and operate the bicycle in a safe manner. Failure to do so could result in property damage, serious injury, or death.

NOTE: The radar data screen is supported by Edge® bike computer models 540/840/1040 or newer. Some devices may need a software update to enable the radar data screen.
NOTE: Before you can view the Varia™ radar data, you must pair the compatible accessory with your bike computer (Pairing with a Watch or Bike Computer).

You can add a radar data screen to remotely control your connected Varia RearVue 820 radar device and view radar data. The radar data screen shows a graphical representation of the road behind you, as you are riding. An icon 1 represents an approaching vehicle. The size of the icon represents the size of the vehicle, as detected by the radar.


Radar data screen and a callout

The vehicle icon moves up and across the screen as the vehicle approaches you, representing the vehicle's position relative to you.

The radar calculates a threat level based on vehicle size, speed, and other factors (Alert Settings). An orange glow under the vehicle icon indicates that the vehicle is a mid-level threat. A red glow under the vehicle icon with the Red warning symbol symbol over the vehicle icon indicate that the vehicle is a high-level threat.

TIP: You can add five data fields to this screen. For more information on customizing data fields, see the owner's manual for the bike computer.
