Operating Instructions

Power On/Off

• To power on, press and hold the power button for 2 seconds. The light will illuminate.
• To power off, press and hold the power button for 2 seconds. The light will turn off.

Mode Selection

Short press the power button to cycle through the 5 available lighting modes: Steady, Fast Flash, Slow Flash, Breath, and SOS.

Radar Functionality

The 24GHz radar continuously monitors for vehicles approaching from behind within a 60-meter range and 54° angle.

• Audio Alerts: A single beep sounds when a vehicle is detected at approximately 60 meters. Two rapid beeps sound when the vehicle is within 10 meters.
• Visual Alerts: The tail light will flash rapidly to alert the rider and the approaching vehicle.
• Group Riding Mode: This mode intelligently filters out other cyclists riding at similar speeds, reducing unnecessary alerts during group rides.

Brake Sensing

The integrated high-precision brake sensor detects sudden deceleration. Upon braking, the tail light automatically switches to an ultra-bright red light to signal to vehicles behind you.

Vibration Wake-Up

To conserve battery, the device enters a dormant state after 30 seconds of inactivity. It automatically wakes up and resumes operation when vibration (motion) is detected, such as when you start riding.

Charging

The CYCLAMI RT02 is equipped with a 1000mAh rechargeable battery.

• Connect the provided USB-C cable to the charging port on the device and to a standard USB power source (e.g., computer, wall adapter).
• A full charge typically takes approximately 2 hours.
• The indicator light will show charging status (e.g., red for charging, green for fully charged).

Maintenance

• Clean the lens and radar sensor regularly with a soft, damp cloth to ensure optimal performance.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Store the device in a cool, dry place when not in use.
• Ensure the USB-C port cover is securely closed to maintain IP64 water resistance.
