HEART RATE OPTION SAFETY GUIDELINES
Before using the Octane FitnessxR6000withHeartLogic™ Intelligence, read and follow these instructions:
Contact Heart Rate Grips
• Cleanthecontactheartrategripsperiodicallytoremovesweatandoils.Useadampclothwithamild
detergent.Do not spraythe hand gripsdirectly with wateror a cleaner;this could causean electrical
short.
• For the most accurate heart rate reading possible, wrap your hands around each contact heart rate grip so
that the palm of your hand and your fingers make contact with the metal sensors on the top and bottom of
the grip. Grasp firmly, and keep your hands steady and in place.
Wireless Chest Strap
• ExercisersmayuseanyPolar™-compatible(codedornon-coded)wirelessheartratetransmitterwiththe
OctaneFitnessxR6000.
• 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.
• Pleasetakecareinhandlingtheequipmentasitisextremelysensitive.
• Donotbendthestripsinsidethecheststrapasitcancausethestraptoloseitsconductivity.
• Handletheheartratetransmitter(cheststrap)withcare.Droppingthetransmittermightcausedamage
and this could void the warranty.
• Ifthereceiver(console)triestoprocessseveralsignalssimultaneously,anincorrectheartratereading

where the chest strap signal from a user on one machine can be received and displayed on the console of
another machine.
• Donotplacethecheststrapneardevicesthatgeneratelargemagneticfields.Televisionsets,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
functionproperly.Perspirationisusuallysufficient,butyou mayneedtomoistentheelectrodeswitha
small amount of water. The electrodes are the ribbed portion on the side of the transmitter that sits against
your skin.
• Thewirelesscheststraphasabatterywhichmayneedtobereplacedfromtimetotime.Afaultybattery
or worn electrodes may cause inaccurate readings. The electrodes are the ribbed portion on the side of the
transmitter that sits against your skin.
• Topurchasewirelesstransmitterstraps,contactyourdealerorOctaneFitnesssalesrepresentative.
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
cheststrap,contactyourdealerorOctaneFitnessCustomerServiceat1.888.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.

Note: When adjusting seat height or tilt, make sure you hear and feel the adjustment mechanism lock
into position.
Adjusting seat height
AdjustseatheightonthexR6000Seriesusingthehandlelocatedjust
under the front edge of the seat. While bracing yourself with your
feet on the platform, lift up on the handle and use your legs to move
theseatintoacomfortableheight.Placeyourfeetonthepedalsand
pedal forward, stopping when one pedal is at its lowest point. Check
theposition ofyour legon thispedal; your knee should beslightly
bent. If your leg is fully extended, or your knee is bent too much,
readjust the seat height until you have the proper leg extension.
Adjustingseatbacktilt
AdjustthetiltoftheseatbackonthexR6000Seriesusingthehandle

slightly forward to tilt the seat back up. Release the handle, then shift
your weight slightly until you hear the tilt lock pop into position.
Note: Once you have adjusted the tilt of the seat back to a comfortable position, pedal forward and
recheck your leg extension. You may need to readjust the seat height to compensate for the
change in tilt.
Tip: Be sure to record the position numbers of both the seat height (1-20) and the seat back tilt (1-5)
so that you can quickly set the seat when you are ready to begin your next workout.

Matrix Display The matrix display shows the program

upcoming intervals and resistance
changes. During heart rate interval
programs (Heart Rate Interval, Heart Rate
Hill, Heart Rate Speed Interval, Heart

the matrix display is used to inform you of
your progress through the intervals:
Changing Target Heart Rates: When
you are trying to reach a new target heart
rate, the left side of the matrix display
shows an illustration of the interval.
The illustration blinks the interval you
are attempting to reach. Each column
represents one minute. An arrow on the
right side of the display shows whether
resistance (and therefore your target
heart rate) is increasing or decreasing. When decreasing, if the machine reaches

Interval Duration: Once you have
reached or surpassed the new target
heart rate, the matrix display switches
to a countdown timer, counting down the
length of the interval. The bottom row of
the matrix displays a horizontal bar graph
representing the current resistance level.
