Varia Radar Tips and Tricks: 
Update your firmware! (Edge GPS or via USB with Garmin Express)
Secure your RADAR with velcro. 
Use Flash or 'Light Off' mode for a LOT more battery life. 
Light Off (but Radar on) mode needs the Varia to be paired as an ANT+ Radar and ANT+ Light. 
The Varia Radar can be used while it charges. 
Mounting the Varia Radar upside down works. 
If you have an Edge unit be sure to install My Bike Radar Traffic ConnectIQ data field!
