Wireless Chest Strap
• ExercisersmayuseanyPolar™-compatible(codedornon-coded)wirelessheartratetransmitterwiththe
OctaneFitnessPRO310.
• 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
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.
• Donotplacethecheststrapnear devicesthatgeneratelargemagneticfields.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,butyoumayneedtomoistentheelectrodeswitha
small amount of water. The electrodes are the ribbed portion on the side of the transmitter that sits against
your skin.
• Thewirelesschest straphas a batterywhich may failafter aperiodof time.Afaulty batteryorworn
electrodes may cause inaccurate readings. The electrodes are the ribbed portion on the side of the
transmitter that sits against your skin. If the battery has failed, a new chest strap must be purchased.
• 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.

Keypad Buttons
QuickStart The easiest way for you to start your workout is to simply push the Quick Start button,
setting the machine in a manual program at resistance level one. The calories readout
will be based on a 150 lb. (68 kg) user, age 40. Once you have selected Quick Start, you
can program any item in any order.
Cool Down It is always a good idea to perform a cool-down at the end of your routine. This will
help transition your body from an aggressive workout to its normal pace. The time and
intensity of the cool-down is automatically customized to your workout duration and
resistance level. The time window will change to a countdown timer to tell you how
long the cool-down will last.
If you have set a time for your workout, the cool-down will automatically start when
time has expired. If you decide to end your workout early or have not set a time
goal, simply push the Cool Down button to activate the custom cool-down. At the
completion of your cool-down a workout summary will be displayed.
Pause Clear Press once to pause your workout. The standard pause time is 5 minutes. Use the

important information, shows the program profile
during the workout and highlights upcoming
intervals and resistance changes. Watch the
matrix 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.
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 resistance level 1 and your heart rate
has still not reached your target low, the display
prompts you with the message “HR TOO HIGH–SLOW DOWN”. When increasing, if
the machine reaches the highest resistance level (20) and your heart rate has still not
reachedyourtargethigh,thedisplaypromptsyouto“INCREASESPEEDTODECREASE
RESISTANCE”.
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.

Speed Displays how fast you are going, in revolutions per minute (rpm).
Calories 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.
Cal/Hr Displays the number of calories that would be burned in one hour at the current resistance
level and speed.
Time-in-Zone Tracks and displays the amount of time spent in the proper heart rate training zone for the
program on the PRO310. Time-in-Zone is only displayed in a heart rate controlled program
when a heart rate is detected by the machine. Note: You must be wearing a wireless heart
rate transmitter or consistently grasping the contact heart rate sensor grips on the stationary
handlebars in order to get an accurate reading of Time-in-Zone.

Program Level The Random program and Goal programs using the ‘Hills’ profile let you 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 plus (+)
or minus (-) 4 of the entered program level. That is, for program Level 5, minimum
resistance is Level 1 and maximum resistance is Level 9. During the workout, the
overall program resistance level is displayed. You can change the Level at any
time.

High Interval Level (8)
This challenging program 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.

workouts, including HeartLogic Intelligence and MultiGrip Handlebars. In addition, many of the standard
featuresandcontrolsofyourOctaneFitnessellipticalcanbecustomizedtotyourpersonalpreferencesor

Heart Rate Monitoring and HeartLogic Intelligence
The PRO310 elliptical is equipped with state-of-the-art heart rate
monitoring and control technologies that help you make the most
ofyourtrainingefforts.Bothmodelsincludeon-demandheartrate
monitoring—just grasp the digital contact heart rate grip sensors on
the stationary handlebars and your current heart rate is displayed on
the console.
Forevengreatercontrolofyourworkout,thePRO310isalsoequipped
with HeartLogic Intelligence, Octane Fitness’ sophisticated yet easy
to use heart rate control technology. This sophisticated solution
provides the most accurate and effective workout possible using
heart rate data captured by a wireless chest strap or the digital
contact heart rate grip sensors on the stationary handlebars.
The PRO310 features premium workouts designed to take full advantage of the benets of heart rate zone
training:FatBurn,Cardio,HeartRateCustomInterval,and30:30.The console displays time-in-zone, current heart
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 stationary handlebars of the
PRO310.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.

ThePRO310providesthreedifferentheartratecontrolledprograms(FatBurn,Cardio,
and Heart Rate Custom Interval) to offer you more variety to suit your personal needs.
