Dynamic Display (LCD)
The top portion of the standard console is an LCD which prompts you to enter important information, dynamically
displays all of the important workout data, and highlights aspects of your workout such as upcoming intervals and
resistance changes. Watch the display 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.
Icon Description
Displays workout time, counting up from 00:00. Time can be increased or
decreased during your workout. The timer goes up to 59 minutes, 59 seconds
(59:59), then the display rolls over to 1 hour, 0 minutes (01:00) and begins
counting in minutes instead of seconds from that point forward. Refer to User
(Club) Settings to learn how to switch from a “count up” to “count down” display
and to set a different maximum workout time.
Displays an estimate of the total calories burned during the workout, based on
the user’s entered weight. If no specific weight is entered, calories are based on
a 150 lb. (68 kg) user.
Displays an estimate of the distance you have traveled. Distance can be shown
in either miles (English) or kilometers (metric). The factory default setting is
English. Refer to User (Club) Settings later in this manual to learn how to switch
from English to metric.
Displays your current speed in revolutions per minute (rpm).
When lit, this icon indicates that ANT+™wireless communications is active and
detecting signal from the optional wireless heart rate chest strap.
Displays your current heart rate percentage, calculated as current heart rate
divided by theoretical maximum heart rate (TMHR). Note: The standard TMHR
is calculated for a 40-year old user weighing 150 lbs. (68 kg). You must have
entered your age during program setup and be wearing a wireless heart rate
transmitter or consistently grasping the contact heart rate sensor grips on the
handlebars in order to get an accurate reading of Heart Rate % for your age and
weight.
Displays heart rate in beats per minute (BPM). Note: You must be wearing a
wireless heart rate transmitter or consistently grasping the contact heart rate
sensor grips on the stationary handlebars.
Displays the resistance level (1-30), where 1 is the lowest resistance level and
30 is the highest.

Keypad Buttons
HIIT Boosters Ramp up any workout with the press of a button, activating one of these signature
Octane Fitness high-intensity interval training boosters:
This great motivational tool keeps your workout fresh and exciting in any program. Every
other minute X-Mode kicks in, adding four levels of resistance and prompting you to
perform combinations of eight different challenges:
Fast Pick up the pace—we recommend 60+ rpm, but you should find your
own comfort level.
Pull-Arms Focus on pulling with your arms to work your biceps and lats.
Resistance+Sweat it out as you work your entire body with a quick burst at 3
additional levels of resistance—a total of 7 levels higher than your
program resistance level!
Wide Grip Grasp the multigrips high on the outside and feel it in your shoulders,
chest, and back.
Reverse Pedal backwards to change the muscle focus in your legs.
Narrow Grip Grasp the multigrips on the low inside edge to give your triceps and
chest muscles a workout.
Legs Only Focus on pushing with your legs to work your quadriceps and glutes.
Push-Arms Focus on pushing with your arms to work your chest and triceps.
Chest Press integrates cardio sessions with strength sessions focused on the chest,
arms, and back. For each Chest Press interval, the resistance level increases 6 levels
(or to the maximum resistance of 30) for a muscle-building, 10-repetition set as you
place your feet on the stationary foot pegs and transfer the workload from lower body
to upper body.
Leg Press is an aggressive routine to help you build strength and power in your leg
muscles. During each Leg Press interval, place your hands on the stationary handlebars
and challenge yourself with a muscle-building, 15-repetition set with a resistance
increase of 8 levels (or to the maximum resistance of 30).
During a HIIT Booster session, the level of resistance can be changed by pressing any
(+) or (-) key on the keypad. Press the HIIT Booster button a second time to deactivate
the session.
Quick Start The easiest way to start a workout is to simply push the Quick Start button. The clock
starts timing you for a 30-minute workout (or the Maximum Workout Time allowed by
the club if that maximum is less than 30 minutes.) The calories readout will be based on
a 150 lb. (68 kg) user, age 40. Once you have selected Quick Start, you can program Time
and Level to your desired settings. (Age and Weight can only be changed by selecting a
program using the Program Workout button and entering the values during setup.)
Press the clock button (Time), then any (+) or (–) to increase or decrease the time of your
workout, in 1 minute increments. The standard workout time is 30:00. The maximum
time is 120 minutes (02:00); this time can be changed or set to “OFF” in User (Club)
Settings if a different maximum workout time, or no limit for goal-based programs,
better suits your environment.

Press the Fan button to initiate a cool breeze to help keep you comfortable as you work
out. Press again to increase the airflow (two additional levels), or a fourth time to turn
it off. Move the vent as desired to direct the airflow.
Pause Clear Press once to pause your workout. The standard pause time is 0:55. 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 pause phase; simply start pedaling to resume your
workout. Press the Pause Clear button twice within two seconds, and the machine is
reset and ready for another workout.
Octane Favorites Press the Octane Favorites button to quickly jump to one of these signature programs:
MMA Battle the Octane elliptical in 5-minute rounds that include 5 alternating ‘fight’ and
‘recover’ intervals of various lengths, simulating a Mixed Martial Arts bout. The harder
you punch with your arms, the harder the Octane elliptical ‘fights back’ with increased
resistance.
30:30 Press this button a second time to take on this challenging program which provides a
simple test of fitness level with 5 sets of 30-second sprint and recovery intervals. For
each set, the program monitors heart rate and calculates the average minimum and
average maximum heart rates and the average number of beats the heart rate recovers
between sprint intervals. Heart rate recovery is a relative indicator of fitness level; a
higher number indicates a more rapid heart rate recovery and therefore represents a
relatively better level of fitness.
Up (+) and Down (–) Keys
Program Workout Press Program Workout (+) or (–) to scroll through the programs, then press Enter to
select a program. Program changes can be made any time during your workout. When
you change programs, the LCD message center prompts you to enter new program
values as needed.
Press Level (+) or (–) to increase or decrease the resistance level of the xR6000. There
are 30 levels of resistance for most programs. For heart rate controlled programs,
the Level button increases your target heart rate. To save a change in target
heart rate, press Enter.
Enter Selects any of the changed values or items from the above keys.

USER (CLUB) SETTINGS
Many of the standard features and controls of Octane Fitness units can be customized to fit your personal
preferences or workout environment. In just a few simple steps, you can set up the machine to skip the Warm-Up,
count down your workout time (instead of counting up), limit the maximum workout time, display units in English
or metric, mute the console beeps and more. All of these adjustments are easily completed and are saved as the
new standard for the machine—you don’t need to reset them for each use.
To access these functions, press and hold both the Level Up (+) and Level Down (–) keys for three seconds, or until
you hear a beep. The following customizable functions are displayed in sequence in the LCD; use the Enter key to
toggle through the available options (shown in the matrix display) for each function, and press any Up (+) or Down
(–) to select a setting and move to the next function. To exit without changing any values, press Pause Clear twice.
Available functions may differ from those listed below, depending upon your software version.
Warm-Up This feature may be turned “ON” (to include a 3-minute warm-up in each workout) or “OFF”.
The factory default setting is “ON”.
Clock Direction The cross-trainer can track workout time by counting “UP” or “DOWN”. The factory default
setting is “UP”. Quick Start always counts down.
Max Workout
Time
You may set the maximum workout time for users to the value that is best for your environment.
The factory default setting is “OFF”, allowing users to use the machine for as long as they
would like without reset on goal-based programs. Press the Enter key one time to move
from”OFF” to ten minutes (10:00) , then press and hold ENTER to scroll to any value between
ten miniutes (10:00) and 120 minutes. (The setting rolls back to “OFF” if you scroll past 120
minutes). Press the Up (+) or Down (–) key to save the value you desire. Note: Programs with
a time value as part of the program setup are always limited to 120 minutes maximum time,
even if the Max Workout Time is “OFF”.
Default
Workout Time
Default Workout Time governs the standard value that users see when they program a
workout with a ‘time’ setting; that is, a goal-based program. The factory default setting is
30 minutes. Default Workout Time may be set to any value between ten minutes (10:00) and
the current Max Workout Time setting. If Max Workout Time is set to “OFF”, Default Workout
Time is 120 minutes. Press and hold ENTER to scroll through in one-minute increments to the
value you want, then press the Up (+) or Down (–) key to save the value you desire.
Unit Type You may choose to have the weight and distance units displayed in “ENGLISH” (pounds and
miles) or “METRIC” (kilograms and kilometers). The factory default setting is “ENGLISH”.
Beep You may turn the console sounds “ON” or “OFF”. The factory default setting is “ON”.
Language Choose one of several languages options for the console display. The factory default setting
is “ENGLISH”.
TV Set to “ON” if you have a Personal Viewing System (PVS) accessory attached. The factory
default setting is “OFF”.
900 MHz Set to “ON” if you have a 900 MHz audio accessory installed. The factory default setting is
“OFF”. (Available in some software versions.)
Exit When EXIT is displayed in the LCD, press Enter to leave User (Club) Settings. All of your
selections will be saved and become the new standard settings for your machine. They may
be changed at any time by repeating these setup procedures.
