OTHER IMPORTANT SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
• Place the elliptical cross trainer on a level surface with at least two feet of clearance behind the pedal at
its furthest back position.
• To protect the floor or carpet from damage, place a mat under your elliptical cross trainer.
• Keep children off the elliptical cross trainer at all times.
• When the elliptical cross trainer is in use, children and pets should be kept clear of the area.
• Wear appropriate exercise clothing and shoes for your workout—no loose clothing.
• Use care when getting on or off the Q35/Q35e/Pro35. Never step on or off the unit while the foot pedals

• Always face forward. Never attempt to turn around on the Q35/Q35e/Pro35.

HEART RATE OPTION
Safety Guidelines
Before using the Octane Fitness™ Q35e/Pro35 with heart rate, read and follow the instructions:
• Please take care in handling the equipment as it is extremely sensitive.
• 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.
• Handle the Octane Fitness™ heart rate transmitter with care. Dropping the transmitter might cause
damage and this could void the manufacturer’s limited warranty.
• Do not use the chest strap if you have a cardiac pacemaker or you are taking any medication.
Medication or electrical impulses from the cardiac pacemaker can cause inaccurate heart rate readings.
• If the receiver tries to process several signals simultaneously, an incorrect heart rate reading could result.
Only use one chest strap at a time in the range of the receiver. Other transmitters should be at least
five feet away from the receiver on your unit.
• Do not immerse the transmitter in water. However, some moisture is necessary for the transmitter to func-
tion 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 back side (that sits against your skin) of the
transmitter.
• There are some individuals who cannot use the heart rate feature because they do not have the proper body
chemistry.
• Do not bend the strips inside the chest strap as it can cause the strap to lose its conductivity.
• The chest strap has a battery which may need to be replaced from time to time. A faulty battery or a
worn strap may cause inaccurate readings.
• 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 other machine.
