xR3 HEART RATE FEATURES

The Octane Fitness xR3c and xR3ci seated 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 xR3ci is 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 stationary handlebars.

The xR3ci features premium workouts designed to take full advantage  
of the benefits of heart rate zone training: Fat Burn, Cardio, Heart 
Rate Custom 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 
xR3c and xR3ci. 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 and your 
fingers make contact with the metal sensors on the top and bottom of the grip. Grasp 
the contact sensors firmly, and keep your hands steady and in place.

Using a wireless 

chest strap

(xR3ci)

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

(xR3ci)

The xR3ci provides three different heart rate controlled programs (Fat Burn, Cardio, 
and Heart Rate Custom 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 xR3 Program Reference chart for more information.
