You can always check the currently installed firmware version by navigating to the Sensor Information page (button located at the bottom of the TRACKR RADAR's sensor page.

 

Enable TRACKR RADAR special feature modes

In addition to radar alerts and basic light modes (see TRACKR RADAR Features), the TRACKR RADAR offers several special feature modes which function with or without being connected to a GPS cycling computer or sport watch. These features are set to off by default and can only be enabled through the sensor menu when paired to the Wahoo app.

Brake light*

TRACKR RADAR uses an accelerometer to sense deceleration and function as a brake light, increasing luminosity when slowing down.**

Quick alert light*

When TRACK RADAR detects an approaching vehicle, it changes the flash pattern and increases luminosity of the light.

Battery saver mode*

TRACKR RADAR reduces the luminosity of the selected light mode to conserve battery whenever no vehicles are detected.**

*Not applicable in France and Norway – Both countries have regulatory restrictions on the use of flashing lights with bicycles.  While our lights can legally be used in both countries, if you live in or would visit and use the light in those countries you should familiarize yourself with the regulations regarding flashing lights and not enable the Brake light, Quick Alert light, or Battery Extender mode features in the Wahoo app when using the TRACKR RADAR in those jurisdictions.

TRACKR RADAR is not for sale in Germany.  As Germany has stringent regulations around flashing lights. In order to sell a taillight in Germany, a company must produce a German-market-specific light, without any capacity for flash, and with German certifications. Unfortunately the TRACKR RADAR is not available in Germany due to these constraints. 

Enable the special feature modes

  1. Ensure the TRACKR RADAR is awake/on. Pressing the power button for 1+ second will ensure it is on.
  2. From the Devices tab, select the TRACKR RADAR.
  3. Toggle the desired feature mode to on.
  4. Feature modes will remain set to the last selected setting unless factory reset.
