• Topurchasewirelesstransmitterstraps,contactyourdealerorOctaneFitnesssalesrepresentative.
Some individuals are unable to use the heart rate feature because they do not have the proper body chemistry
to provide accurate readings. If you experience difficulties in using the contact heart rate grips or a wireless
chest strap, contact your dealer or Octane Fitness Customer Service at 1.888.OCTANE4.
WARNING!The heart rate monitoring features of this product are for information only and are not to be used
as a measure of heart functioning or heart health. In a heart rate controlled program, the exerciser can use the
Level controls to reduce the resistance level at any time. Each exerciser is responsible for monitoring how
he or she feels and adjusting the level of effort accordingly. If at any time during exercise a user experience
chest pains, nausea, dizziness, or shortness of breath, he or she should stop exercising immediately and consult
a physician before starting again.

ELECTRONICS
PRO310 CONSOLE
Welcome to some of the easiest to use, yet most sophisticated, electronics available in the fitness industry! The
PRO310 features a simple, easy to understand keypad and a console featuring a workout profile matrix and four
multi-function LED display windows that provide you with all the information you need to get started and stay
motivated during your workout.
Programming the console DedicatedLogic™programming was created to give you the ultimate in ease of
use and total flexibility for programming your console. This allows you to modify
your workout once you’ve started. This ease of use starts by giving each key only
one function. This makes it easy to understand how each key works
Getting started is easy—just hop on and start pedaling, or press any key. The
matrixdisplaypromptsyoutoselectaprogram.UsetheProgram(+/–)keysto
review the programs, then press Enter to select. Once a program is selected,
the display will guide you through the steps to program your workout. After
each prompt, simply enter the requested data and press Enter, and you are on
your way. If no values are entered at the prompts, the machine defaults to the
standard values for the program you have selected.
Keypad Buttons
Quick Start The easiest way for you to start your workout is to simply push the Quick Start
button, setting the machine in a manual program at resistance level 1. The
calories readout will be based on a 150 lb. (68 kg) user. Once you have selected
Quick Start, you can program any item in any order.
Pause Clear Press once to pause your workout. The standard pause time is 2 minutes. To
restart a paused workout, push any key or just begin pedaling. If you stop
pedaling during a workout, the unit will automatically begin a 2-minute pause.
Simply start pedaling to resume your workout.
Press the Pause Clear button twice within two seconds, and your machine is
reset and ready for another workout. Press and hold the Pause Clear button until
you hear the beep to enter sleep mode, a virtual off mode. The matrix display
reads“UNFUELING”,andjustoneLEDintheX-Modewindowremainslit.The
elliptical requires very little power in this mode. To “wake” the elliptical, simply
press any button or begin pedaling.
Cool Down It is always a good idea to perform a cool-down at the end of your routine. This
will help transition your body from an aggressive workout to its normal pace. The
time and intensity of the cool-down is automatically customized to your workout
duration and resistance level. The time window will change to a countdown timer
to tell you how long the cool-down will last.
If you have set a time for your workout, the cool-down will automatically start
when time has expired. If you decide to end your workout early or have not set a
time goal, simply push the Cool Down button to activate the custom cool-down.

while building strength and muscle tone. Press the ArmBlaster button at any time
during your workout to integrate cardio sessions with strength sessions. The cardio
session follows the program profile that you have selected. Every other minute,
resistance increases 10 levels from where you are currently working (or to the
maximum resistance of 20) for a muscle-building, 10-repetition set as you transfer
