HEART RATE FEATURE SAFETY GUIDELINES
Before using the Octane Fitness PRO370 with HeartLogic™ Intelligence, read and follow these instructions:
Contact Heart Rate Grips
• Cleanthecontactheartrategripsperiodicallytoremovesweatandoils.Useadampclothwithamild
detergent. Do not spray the hand grips directly with water or a cleaner; this could cause an electrical
short.
• Whenholdingthegrips,grasp each contact heart rate grip so the contact sensor portion of the grip rests
inthepalmofyourhand.Gripthecontactsensorsrmly,andkeepyourhandssteadyandinplace.
Wireless Chest Strap
• ExercisersmayuseanyPolar™-compatible(codedornon-coded)wirelessheartratetransmitterwiththe
Octane Fitness PRO370.
• Do not allow users to use the chest strap if they have a cardiac pacemaker or are taking
prescription medication. Medication or electrical impulses from the cardiac pacemaker can cause
inaccurate heart rate readings.
• Pleasetakecareinhandlingtheequipmentasitisextremelysensitive.
• Donotbendthestripsinsidethecheststrapasitcancausethestraptoloseitsconductivity.
• Handletheheartratetransmitter(cheststrap)withcare.Droppingthetransmittermightcausedamage
and this could void the warranty.
• Ifthereceiver(console)triesto processseveralsignalssimultaneously, anincorrectheartratereading
could result. In a commercial setting, space the products at least 24” apart. This will prevent cross-talk,
where the chest strap signal from a user on one machine can be received and displayed on the console of
another machine.
• Donotplace thecheststrapneardevicesthatgeneratelargemagnetic fields.Televisionsets,electric
motors, radios, and high voltage power lines can affect the transmitter’s performance. These items can
interfere with the heart rate signal that is being transmitted to the receiver, possibly affecting the heart
rate readings that appear on the electronic console.
• Do not immerse the transmitter in water. However, some moisture is necessary for the transmitter to
function properly. Perspiration is usually sufficient, but you may need to moisten the electrodes with a
small amount of water. The electrodes are the ribbed portion on the side of the transmitter that sits against
your skin.
• Thewirelesscheststraphasabatterywhichmayneedtobereplacedfromtimetotime.Afaultybattery
or worn electrodes may cause inaccurate readings. The electrodes are the ribbed portion on the side of the
transmitter that sits against your skin.
• 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.

PRO370 Console
Welcome to some of the easiest to use, yet most sophisticated, electronics available in the fitness industry! The
PRO370 features a simple, easy to understand keypad and a console featuring an informative Message Center, 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.
Message Center The PRO370 Message Center features a scrolling LED display which prompts you
to enter important information, guides and motivates you through your workout,
and rewards you with clear, relevant workout data such as level, average speed,
averageheartrate,maximumheartrate,calorie/hour,watts,andMETs.Watch
the message center as you set up and progress through your workout—it will
guide you, motivate you, and reward you with summary information at the end of
your session.
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. You can even start your workout, then program
the electronics. 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
Message Center prompts you to select a program. Once a program is selected,
the console 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.

not fully charged, the pause time will be 10 seconds. Your workout settings and
statistics will be saved for the duration of the pause. To restart a paused workout,

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 three minutes,
resistance increases 10 levels from where you are currently working (or to the
maximum resistance of 30) for a muscle-building, 10-repetition set as you transfer
the workload from your lower body to your upper body. During the ArmBlaster rep

trainer offers. Press the X-Mode button within any program, and a combination of
one to four randomly-generated X-Mode LEDs will light up instructing you what
to do. Each X-Mode session lasts for one minute with a two-minute “regular”
program routine in between. The PRO370 offers eight different X-Mode challenges:
Push-Arms, Lower Body Only, Fast, Pull-Arms, Squat, Slow, Reverse, and Lean Back.
To deactivate X-Mode, simply press the X-Mode button a second time.
GluteKicker GluteKicker is an aggressive subset of X-Mode that is focused on your glutes, hips,
and thighs. It uses four prompts: Reverse, Squat, Fast, and Lean Back. GluteKicker
sessions last for one minute, with a one minute recovery period.

Tip: Do you wish the number LEDs didn’t toggle between the displays in each window? Do you just care
about seeing time, or you want to focus on heart rate data? Just press the Display Lock key to stop
the toggling. Press the Display Lock key again to have the LEDs revert back to a continuous loop.

Programs and Features
The PRO370 features 16 built-in programs to keep your workouts interesting:
Preset resistance programs: Manual—Random—Interval—
Custom Interval —Hill—10K
Heart rate controlled programs:
Fat Burn—Cardio—Heart Rate Interval—Heart Rate Custom
Interval—New Leaf Custom—Heart Rate Hill—Heart Rate Speed
Interval
Constant power programs: Constant Watts—Constant METs
Fitness program: 30-30
Programs begin with a warm-up to ease your body into your intense workout. During the warm-up, the
resistance increases each minute.
Preset resistance, constant power, and fitness programs incorporate a three-minute warm-up during which
resistance increases two levels per minute. Heart rate controlled programs include a warm-up which lasts
three minutes or until you reach your target heart rate; then your selected program begins. Increasing or
decreasing the Level changes the target heart rate.
You choose the program that best fits your workout needs for any given day. You decide how hard to work
by setting the resistance level and time for each program. Four programs—Manual, Custom Interval,
Custom Heart Rate Interval, and New Leaf Custom—give you even more flexibility to program your
workout your way.

Hill The Hill program simulates walking or jogging up a big hill. To begin the program,
usetheUpArrow() and Down Arrow () keys or the numeric keypad to enter
the program settings as prompted by the message center: Workout Time, Level
(the average level you want for the entire workout), Age, and Weight. Once you
are pedaling and your warm-up is complete, the resistance increases and the
climb level will get more difficult the closer you get to the top. UsetheUpArrow
() and Down Arrow () keys to change the resistance level for all plateaus
and hills for the entire program. The resistance change between the plateaus is
computer-controlled. Each hill lasts for two minutes, with a 30-second recovery
session at lower resistance between hills. Each column on the matrix display
lasts for 30 seconds. After you climb the highest hill, you have a 30-second
recovery session before the sequence begins again with the lowest hill. These
recovery sessions give your body a quick break, allowing you to take in more
oxygen and letting your muscles take a break while your heart continues to beat
at a higher pace. This approach lets you hit higher resistance levels for shorter
periods, giving you an interesting workout as you build strength and endurance.
10K 10K simulates jogging or running outdoors. It is a great training device to get ready
for a competition. Tobegintheprogram,usetheUpArrow() and Down Arrow

in terrain replicate the challenges you encounter running outside. You can feel
going uphill and downhill with gradual resistance changes. The distance readout
counts down from 6.2 miles (10 kilometers). At any time during the program you

Fat Burn The Fat Burn program guides your workout to maximize the percentage of
calories burned from fat versus carbohydrates. Tobegintheprogram,usetheUp
Arrow () and Down Arrow () keys or the numeric keypad to enter the program
settings as prompted by the message center: Workout Time, Age, Target Heart
Rate, and Weight. The recommended target heart rate is 65% of your theoretical
maximum heart rate (TMHR = 220 – age). The program begins with a warm-up.
If you reach your target heart rate during the warm-up, the warm-up ends and
the heart rate control portion begins. The resistance will automatically adjust to
keep you working out at your target heart rate. At any time during the program
youcanchangeyourtargetheartrateusingtheUpArrow() and Down Arrow

by the message center: Workout Time, Age, Target Heart Rate, and Weight.
The recommended target heart rate is 80% of your theoretical maximum heart
rate (TMHR = 220 – age). The program begins with a warm-up. If you reach
your target heart rate during the warm-up, the warm-up ends and the heart
rate control portion begins. The resistance will automatically adjust to keep
you working out at your target heart rate. At any time during the program you

Note: For the heart rate controlled programs to work effectively, you must be wearing a wireless chest strap or
consistently grasping the contact heart rate grips on the moving handlebars throughout your workout

Heart Rate Interval The Heart Rate Interval program is an excellent workout using alternating
two-minute intervals of 70% and 80% of your theoretical maximum heart rate
(TMHR). Interval training has been shown to give superior results compared to
steady state training (that is, training at a constant resistance level). To begin the
program,usetheUpArrow() and Down Arrow () keys or the numeric keypad
to enter the program settings as prompted by the message center: Workout Time,
Age, High Target Heart Rate (defaults to 80% of your TMHR), and Weight. The
computer sets your initial Low (70%) Target Heart Rate value relative to the value
you enter for the High Target Heart Rate. The program begins with a warm-up. If
you reach your target heart rate during the warm-up, the warm-up ends and the
heart rate control portion begins. The resistance increases or decreases at the
end of each two-minute period to get you to the next interval. When you reach
the new target heart rate, the new two-minute interval begins. The display will
prompt you to increase or decrease your effort until the desired heart rate is
reached. The better your physical condition, the more intervals you will be able
to accomplish in the same period of time. At any time during the program you can
