2.5 Heart Rate Monitoring Issues (Q45e/Q45ce)
Issue
Possible Cause
What to Do
Erratic or illogical heart rate
reading from the chest strap (too
high or too low).
Improper use of optional
chest strap.
The chest strap must be worn snugly
against bare skin at the bottom of the
pectoral muscles with the Octane Fitness
logo right side up and facing away from
the body. For best contact, the transmitter
should be moistened.
The chest strap may need to be moved to
the right or left, up or down on the chest to
secure a reading.
Try the chest strap on a different user.
Some individuals are unable to use a chest
strap due to different body composition/
chemistry.
If the user tries these adjustments and no
heart rate reading appears, replace the
chest strap battery (CR 2032 3V).
If the user tries these adjustments and no
heart rate reading appears, you will need
to provide a new chest strap.
Interference with other
machines or devices.
Fluorescent lights and electronic devices
such as televisions, personal stereos,
cordless or wireless telephones, stop-
watches, wireless computers/Internet,
PDAs, or other exercise machines may
interfere with the heart rate transmission.
Turn off other devices to isolate and
eliminate the interference.
Erratic or illogical heart rate
reading from the handgrips (too
high or too low) (Q45ce only).
Faulty handgrips.
The digital contact heart rate sensors on
the stationary handlebars of the Q45ce
must be grasped so that the contact sensor
portion of the grip rests in the palm of the
hand. The grips must be grasped firmly
and the hands kept steady and in place.
Remove the four (4) screws securing the
console to the console upright tube.
The heart rate sensor cable is a single wire
which runs from the right side of the console
to the center (Figure 2.41). Remove it from
the glue holding it to the console, unplug it
from the console, and replace it with a new
one according to the directions in Section
III.
Check the console ground connection by
loosening and re-tightening it. You may
need to scrape off a bit of paint to ensure
good ground connection.
If the issue is still present, replace the
handgrips according to the directions in
Section III.
