Pairing the Varia eRTL615 with Your Edge 1040

The first time you connect the Varia™ eRTL615 tail light to your Edge® 1040 bike computer, you must pair both devices using ANT‍+® technology. After the initial pairing, the Edge bike computer 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 1040 bike computer within range (3 m) of the Varia eRTL615.
    NOTE: Stay 10 m away from other sensors that use ANT‍+ technology while pairing.
  2. Turn on the Edge 1040 bike computer.
  3. Select Menu symbol > Sensors > Add Sensor > Search All.
  4. While the Varia eRTL615 tail light is in active mode, hold the device button for 4 seconds to enter pairing mode.

    The status LED flashes purple. The device is in pairing mode for 5 minutes or until you hold the device button for 2 seconds to exit pairing mode.

  5. Select your sensor, and select Add.

When the sensor is paired with your Edge 1040 bike computer, the sensor status is Connected. The Radar symbol (radar) and Bike light symbol (bike light) status icons appear solid on the top banner of the home screen.
