HEART RATE FEATURE SAFETY GUIDELINES
Before using the Octane FitnessLX8000withHeartLogic™ 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.
• Whenholdingthegrips,grasp each contact heart rate grip so the contact sensor portion of the grip rests
inthepalmofyourhand.Gripthecontactsensorsrmly,andkeepyourhandssteadyandinplace.
Wireless Chest Strap
• ExercisersmayuseanyPolar™-compatible(codedornon-coded)wirelessheartratetransmitterwiththe
OctaneFitnessLX8000.
• 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.
• Ifthe receiver(console)triestoprocess several signalssimultaneously,anincorrectheartrate reading

where the chest strap signal from a user on one machine can be received and displayed on the console of
another machine.
• Donot place the chest strapneardevicesthatgeneratelargemagneticfields.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.Perspirationisusually sufficient,butyoumayneedtomoisten theelectrodeswitha
small amount of water. The electrodes are 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.

display shows whether resistance (and therefore
your target heart rate) is increasing or decreasing.
When decreasing, if the machine reaches
resistance level 1 and your heart rate has still
not reached your target low, the display prompts you

resistance level. Interval and 30-30 allow the user to select the resistance level for
specific intervals.

Program Level The Random, Lateral Interval, Dual Direction and Goal programs allow the user to select
an overall resistance level for the program. This level is the average resistance level
for the workout. The range of resistance levels during these workouts are +/-4ofthe
entered program level (i.e., For program Level 5, minimum resistance is Level 1 and
maximumresistance is Level 9). During the workout, theoverall programresistance

This challenging program provides a simple test of fitness
levelwith5setsof30-secondsprintandrecoveryintervals.
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.

LX8000 PRODUCT FEATURES
TheOctaneFitnessLX8000lateralcrosstrainerincorporatesadditionalfeaturestoensurethatusersexperience
great workouts, including HeartLogic Intelligence and MultiGrip Handlebars. In addition, many of the standard
featuresandcontrolsofyourOctaneFitnesslateralcrosstrainercanbecustomizedtotyourpersonal
preferences or workout environment.
HeartLogic Intelligence
The LX8000 is equipped with HeartLogic Intelligence—Octane’s
own heart rate control technology. HeartLogic Intelligence is a
sophisticated yet easy to use technology that provides the most
accurate and effective workout possible. It all begins with the
wireless chest strap and the digital contact heart rate grip sensors
on the moving handlebars. Choose from two heart rate programs,
Fat Burn and Heart Rate Interval. During your workout, the console
displays time-in-zone,currentheart rate, heart rate%,and target
heart rate so you know exactly where you are and where you should
be.
Using a wireless
chest strap The wireless chest strap transmits your heart rate to the electronics console at a
distance of up to three feet. You may use any Polar™-compatible (coded or non-
coded) transmitter. Adjust the length of the elastic strap and fasten the transmitter
around your torso, underneath your shirt. Place the strap just below your chest.
Make sure the logo is away from you and right side up. It may help to moisten the
electrodes on the back of the transmitter with a small amount of water for better
contact with the skin. The electrodes are the ribbed portion on the back side of the
transmitter that sits against your skin. Make sure the strap fits snugly but doesn’t
restrict breathing. The contact handgrips reading takes priority if both the wireless
and contact heart rate grips are in use.
Using the digital
contact heart
rate sensors
The digital contact heart rate sensors are located on the moving handlebars of the
LX8000.Thegripscanbeusedtocheckyourheartrateduringyourworkout.For the
most accurate heart rate reading possible, grasp each contact heart rate grip so that
the contact sensor portion of the grip rests in the palm of your hand. Grip the contact
sensorsrmly,andkeepyourhandssteadyandinplace.
