Pairing the Varia Radar Device with Your Edge 1030

The first time you connect the Varia™ RTL515/RTL516 device to your Edge® device, you must pair both devices. After the initial pairing, the Edge device automatically connects to the radar device when you start your activity and the radar device is active and within range.
NOTE: The radar device is compatible with other Garmin® devices (Other Compatible Devices).
  1. Bring the Edge device within range (3 m) of the sensor.
    NOTE: Stay 10 m away from other ANT‍+® sensors while pairing.
  2. Turn on the Edge device.
  3. Select Menu symbol > Sensors > Add Sensor > Search All.
  4. While the Varia RTL515/RTL516 device is turned off, hold the device key for 2 seconds to enter pairing mode.

    The status LED flashes purple, and the taillight turns on. The device is in pairing mode for 5 minutes or until you press the device key.

  5. Select your sensor, and select Add.

When the sensor is paired with your Edge device, the sensor status is Connected. The Radar device connection symbol (radar) and Bike light symbol (bike light) status icons appear solid on the top banner of the home screen.
