Setup and Installation
The RT02 offers dual installation options for versatility.
1. Seatpost Mount Installation
- Attach the seatpost mount to your bicycle's seatpost using the provided straps or bands. Ensure it is tight and stable.
- Slide the RT02 tail light onto the mount until it clicks securely into place.
- Adjust the angle so the light faces directly backward and the radar has an unobstructed view.
2. Saddle Rail Mount Installation
- Secure the saddle rail mount to the rails under your bicycle saddle.
- Slide the RT02 tail light onto the mount until it locks.
- Verify the light is horizontal and facing directly backward.

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.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not power on. | Low battery; device malfunction. | Charge the device fully. If problem persists, contact customer support. |
| Radar not detecting vehicles. | Sensor obstructed; incorrect mounting angle; radar interference. | Ensure sensor is clean and unobstructed. Adjust mounting angle. Avoid areas with high electromagnetic interference. |
| Audio alerts are too quiet. | Environmental noise; user hearing. | While the device provides alerts, external factors like wind and traffic noise can affect audibility. Rely on visual alerts and regular checks. |
| Brake sensing not working. | Device not securely mounted; sensor malfunction. | Ensure the device is firmly mounted and does not wobble. Contact support if the issue continues. |
