PRODUCT FEATURES

The Octane Fitness Q37 and Q47 ellipticals incorporate additional features to ensure that you experience great 
workouts, including electronically adjustable stride with SmartStride, HeartLogic Intelligence and MultiGrip 
handlebars. 

Heart Rate Monitoring and HeartLogic Intelligence

The Q37 and Q47 ellipticals are equipped with state-of-the-art 
heart rate monitoring and control technologies that help you make 
the most of your training efforts. Both models include on-demand 
heart rate monitoring—just grasp the digital contact heart rate grip 
sensors on the stationary handlebars and your current heart rate is 
displayed on the console.

For even greater control of your workout, the Q37xi and Q47xi are also 
equipped 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 handlebars.

The Q37xi and Q47xi feature premium workouts designed to take full advantage  of the benefits of heart rate zone 
training: Fat Burn,  Heart Rate Interval and 30:30. 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 the digital 

contact heart 

rate sensors

The digital contact heart rate sensors are located on the stationary handlebars of the 
Q37x and Q37xi and on the Multigrip moving handlebars of the Q47x and Q47xi. The 
grips can be used to check your heart rate during your workout. 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 sensors 
firmly, and keep your hands steady and in place.

Using a wireless 

chest strap

(Q37xi, Q47xi)

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.

Heart rate 

programs

(Q37xi, Q47xi)

The Q37xi and Q47xi provide two heart rate controlled programs, Fat Burn and 
Heart Rate Interval, to offer you more variety to suit your personal needs. The 30:30 
program also uses heart rate data to provide an assessment of heart rate recovery. 
We recommend that you try different programs to determine your favorite. Refer to 
the Program Reference chart for more information.
