HEART RATE FEATURE SAFETY GUIDELINES

Before using the Octane Fitness Q37c/Q37ci with HeartLogic

™ 

 Intelligence, read and follow these instructions:

 

Contact Heart Rate Grips

•  Clean the contact heart rate grips periodically to remove sweat and oils. Use a damp cloth with a mild 

detergent. Do not spray the hand grips directly with water or a cleaner; this could cause an electrical 
short.

•  When holding the grips, grasp each contact heart rate grip so the contact sensor portion of the grip rests 

in the palm of your hand. Grip the contact sensors firmly, and keep your hands steady and in place.

 

Wireless Chest Strap (Q37ci only)

•  Exercisers  may  use  the  wireless  heart  rate  transmitter  provided  with  the  Octane  Fitness  Q37ci  or  any 

Polar™-compatible (coded or non-coded) wireless heart rate transmitter.

• 

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.

•  Please take care in handling the equipment as it is extremely sensitive.
•  Do not bend the strips inside the chest strap as it can cause the strap to lose its conductivity.
•  Handle the heart rate transmitter (chest strap)  with care. Dropping the transmitter might cause damage 

and this could void the warranty.

•  If the receiver (console) tries to process several signals simultaneously, an incorrect heart rate reading 

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.

•  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.

•  Do  not  immerse  the  transmitter  in  water.  However,  some  moisture  is  necessary  for  the  transmitter  to 

function 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 side of the transmitter that sits against 
your skin.

•  The wireless chest strap has a battery which may fail after a period of time. A faulty battery or worn 

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.

•  To purchase wireless transmitter straps, contact your dealer or Octane Fitness sales representative.

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 
chest strap, contact your dealer or Octane Fitness Customer Service at 1.888.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, you can use the Level controls 
to reduce the resistance level at any time.

 You are responsible for monitoring how you feel and adjusting 

the level of effort accordingly.

 If at any time during exercise you experience chest pains, nausea, dizziness, or 

shortness of breath, stop exercising immediately and consult a physician before starting again.
