Operation

Power On/Off

Press and hold the power button to turn the device on or off. The SRmini also features an automatic start/stop function when connected to a compatible bike computer, eliminating the need for manual operation.

Light Modes

The SRmini offers 7 different lighting modes to suit various riding conditions. Cycle through the modes by short-pressing the power button. The available modes and their approximate battery durations are detailed below:

Radar Functionality

The SRmini's radar can detect approaching vehicles up to 160 meters away and monitor up to eight targets simultaneously. It provides real-time visual and audible alerts through a connected bike computer or smartphone app.

• Detection Distance: Up to 160 meters.
• Detection Angle: 45 degrees, reducing blind spots, especially when turning.
• Alerts: Visual warnings (orange/red bars) and audible beeps on the bike computer indicate approaching vehicles and their risk level (low, medium, high).

Smart Features

• Automatic Brake Detection: The SRmini automatically brightens when braking, alerting vehicles behind you.

Maintenance

Cleaning

Wipe the SRmini with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the device.

Battery Care

To prolong battery life, charge the device regularly and avoid fully discharging it. Store the device in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods.

Water Resistance

The SRmini is IPX7 waterproof, meaning it can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. However, it is not recommended for prolonged underwater use. Ensure the charging port cover is securely closed to maintain water resistance.

Troubleshooting

Device Not Turning On

• Ensure the device is fully charged.
• Press and hold the power button for a few seconds to ensure it's not just a short press.

Radar Not Detecting Vehicles or Inconsistent Performance

• Check that the SRmini is mounted correctly and vertically, with no obstructions to the radar sensor.
• Ensure the device is paired correctly with your bike computer or app.
• Verify that your bike computer's firmware is up to date, as compatibility issues can sometimes arise (e.g., with iGPSPORT BSC300T, ensure latest firmware).
• Test the radar in an open area with clear line of sight to approaching vehicles.

Connectivity Issues (ANT+/Bluetooth)

• Ensure the SRmini is within range of your bike computer or smartphone.
• Restart both the SRmini and the receiving device (bike computer/smartphone).
• Unpair and re-pair the SRmini from your device's sensor settings.
• Check for interference from other electronic devices.
