HEART RATE FEATURE SAFETY GUIDELINES
Before using the
Octane Fitness
elliptical 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
• Exercisers may use any Polar™-compatible (coded or non-coded) wireless heart rate transmitter with the Octane Fitness elliptical.
•
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 on the side of the transmitter that sits against your skin.
• The wireless chest strap has a battery which may need to be replaced from time to 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.
• 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, 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 experiences chest pains, nausea, dizziness, or shortness of breath, he or
she should stop exercising immediately and consult a physician before starting again.
