Frequently Asked Questions - xRide xR6x Octane

How do I assemble the Octane xRide xR6x?

Refer to the included manual. Basic tools (wrenches and allen keys) are provided. Follow step-by-step instructions: attach stabilizers, uprights, console, and pedals. Always tighten bolts securely.

How do I adjust the resistance?

Use the resistance buttons on the console (up/down arrows) or the quick-select programs. There are 20 magnetic resistance levels, with 1 being easiest and 20 hardest. Resistance changes smoothly.

How do I use the heart rate monitor?

Visual Product Overview

Enjoy the many great features of your Octane elliptical:

SMARTLINK® by Octane Fitness

To ramp up your workout and take full advantage of the features and programming of your xR6xi elliptical, head to the iTunes Store and download SMARTLINK by Octane Fitness for your iPad*. This free app guides your workouts, tracks your progress and offers great motivation to keep pushing toward your goals.

Adjusting the Seat

The comfort and effectiveness of your workout on the xR6 begins with proper seat position. Both the height of the seat and the tilt of the seatback on the xR6 seat are adjustable, ensuring that you can find just the right position to suit your preference and deliver the best possible workout.

Note: When adjusting seat height or tilt, make sure you hear and feel the adjustment mechanism lock into position.

Adjusting seat height

Adjust seat height on the xR6 Series using the handle located just under the front edge of the seat. While bracing yourself with your feet on the platform, lift up on the handle and use your legs to move the seat into a comfortable height. Place your feet on the pedals and pedal forward, stopping when one pedal is at its lowest point. Check the position of your leg on this pedal; your knee should be slightly bent. If your leg is fully extended, or your knee is bent too much, readjust the seat height until you have the proper leg extension.

Adjusting seatback tilt

Adjust the tilt of the seatback on the xR6 Series using the handle located just under the left edge of the seat. You may choose one of five positions, with position 1 being the most upright and position 5 being the most reclined. To adjust, lean forward slightly, then pull out on the yellow knob to disengage the tilt lock. Press back to recline or shift your weight slightly forward to tilt the seatback up. Release the knob, then shift your weight slightly until you hear the tilt lock pop into position.

Note: Once you have adjusted the tilt of the seatback to a comfortable position, pedal forward and recheck your leg extension. You may need to readjust the seat height to compensate for the change in tilt.

Tip: Be sure to record the position numbers of both the seat height (1-20) and the seatback tilt (1-5) so that you can quickly set the seat when you are ready to begin your next workout.

Octane Boosters

Your Octane Fitness Elliptical offers three 'boosters' to add motivation and variety to your workout. Press the "Boost Your Workout" button on the console to toggle through and choose one of these great challenges:

X-Mode	This great motivational tool keeps your workout fresh and exciting in any program. Every other minute X-Mode kicks in, adding four levels of resistance and prompting you to perform combinations of six different challenges:Push-Legs Focus on pushing with your legs to work your quadriceps and glutes.Pull-Arms Focus on pulling with your arms to work your biceps and lats.Push-Arms Focus on pushing with your arms to work your chest and triceps.Reverse Pedal backwards to change the muscle focus in your legs.Fast Pick up the pace—we recommend 60+ rpm, but you should find your own comfort level.Resistance + Sweat it out as you work your entire body with a quick burst at 3 additional levels of resistance—a total of 7 levels higher than your program resistance level!During an X-Mode session, the level of resistance can be changed by pressing any (▲) or (▼) key on the keypad.
Chest Press	Press the “Boost Your Workout” button a second time to select Chest Press, a proprietary program designed to boost endurance and build strength and muscle tone in your upper body. Chest Press integrates cardio sessions with strength sessions focused on the chest, arms, and back. The cardio session follows the selected program profile. For each Chest Press interval, resistance increases 10 levels (or to the maximum resistance of 20) for a muscle-building, 10-repetition set. . During the Chest Press set, the level of resistance can be changed by pressing any (▲) or (▼) key.
Leg Press	Leg Press is an aggressive routine to help you build strength and power in your leg muscles. Initiate Leg Press sessions by pressing the “Boost Your Workout” button a third time. Leg Press integrates cardio sessions with strength sessions focused on the legs. The cardio session follows the selected program profile. For each Leg Press interval, resistance increases 10 levels (or to the maximum resistance of 20) for a muscle-building, 15-repetition set. During the Leg Press session, the level of resistance can be changed by pressing any (▲) or (▼) key on the keypad or the right handlebar.

A fourth click of the "Boost Your Workout" button cancels all boosters.

Note: Before starting your workout, you can customize some of the booster settings on the xR6xi, such as interval times and resistance changes. From the "Octane Fitness" scroll screen that displays before you begin pedaling, press and hold the Booster button until you hear a beep, then follow the prompts in the LCD message center, using the (▲/▼) and Enter keys to make your selections.

Dynamic Display (LCD)

The LCD display prompts you to enter important information, dynamically displays all of the important workout data and highlights aspects of your workout such as upcoming intervals and resistance changes. Watch the display as you set up and progress through your workout—it will guide you, motivate you, and reward you with summary information at the end of your session.

	Displays workout time, counting up from 0:00. Time can be increased or decreased during your workout. The maximum time that users can set is 99:00. When actual workout time is displayed, the timer goes up to 99:59, then the display rolls over to 0:00. Refer to User Set-up Functions to learn how to switch from a “count up” to “count down” display
	Displays an estimate of the totalcaloriesburned during the workout, based on the user’s entered weight. If no specific weight is entered, calories are based on a 150 lb. (68 kg) user..
	Displays an estimate of thedistanceyou have traveled. Distance can be shown in either miles (English) or kilometers (metric). When you first purchase your elliptical the display will be in English. Refer to User Set-up Functions to learn how to switch from English to metric.Note:On the elliptical, 400 revolutions is approximately one mile; therefore, if you are pedaling at 50 rpm, you will “travel” approximately one mile in 8 minutes.
	Displays your currentspeedin revolutions per minute (rpm).

	Displaysheart ratein beats per minute (BPM).Note:You must be wearing a wireless heart rate transmitter (on the xR6xi) or consistently grasping the contact heart rate sensor grips on the stationary handlebars.
[TTA4]	Displays the resistancelevel(1-20), where 1 is the lowest resistance level and 20 is the highest.
[MOM]	When lit, this icon indicates thatM.O.M.mode (described under “Keypad Buttons”) is active.

SMARTLIGHT®

SMARTLIGHT at the top of the console communicates important information for your workout. On both the xR6x and xR6xi, SMARTLIGHT functions primarily as an intensity meter, giving you visual affirmation as your resistance level or speed increases or decreases.

On the xR6xi, SMARTLIGHT uses multiple colors to communicate additional information about your workout:

• Workout Booster selection and status. When no booster is selected, and between booster intervals, SMARTLIGHT is an orange intensity meter. When a booster is first selected, the color changes to indicate which booster is selected: XMode (green), GluteKicker (yellow) or ArmBlaster (blue). When a booster is active, SMARTLIGHT blinks to indicate that a booster session is about to begin.
• Target Heart Rate "Zone meter". During heart-rate controlled programs, SMARTLIGHT is dark blue when your target heart rate is 15 or more beats per minute (BPM) lower than your goal, changing to light blue when your heart rate is 15 to 5 BPM less than your goal, and to green when you are within 5 BPM of your target. SMARTLIGHT changes to yellow when your heart rate is more than 5 BPM above your goal, and to red when you are 15 or more BPM above your goal. When your workout is over and it's time to cool down, SMARTLIGHT is a slowly blinking dark blue. Follow these color indicators as they prompt you to adjust your speed or intensity to keep your workout "in the zone".

OCTANE FITNESS PROGRAMS

The xR6x has six built-in programs to keep your workouts interesting:

Classic programs: Manual—Random—Interval—Beginner

Goal programs: Distance Goal—Calorie Goal

The xR6xi with wireless heart rate includes an additional three programs to further challenge and motivate:

Heart rate and advanced programs: Fat Burn—HR Interval—30:30

Programs begin with a warm-up to ease your body into your intense workout. During the warm-up, the resistance increases each minute. At the end of the warm-up, you will be at your selected resistance value or target heart rate. You can change the level at any time during the warm-up.

Choose the program that best fits your workout needs for any given day. You decide how hard to work by setting the resistance level and goal (such as time, distance, or calories). Program your workout your way!

How Does Workload Resistance (Level) Work?

Nominal Level	Except as noted below, you select a consistent level of resistance for your workout, and increase or decrease it whenever you choose using the Level (▲) or (▼) keys on the keypad.
Program Level	The Random and Distance Goal programs let you select an overall resistance level for the program. This level is the average resistance level for the workout. The range of resistance levels during these workouts are plus (+) or minus (-) 4 of the entered program level. That is, for program Level 5, minimum resistance is Level 1 and maximum resistance is Level 9. During the workout, the overall program resistance level is displayed. You can change the Level at any time.
Resistance in Heart Rate Controlled and Advanced Programs	Fat Burn and Heart Rate Interval ask you to enter the target heart rate level. If the target HR is reached during the warm-up, the warm-up ends and the selected heart rate controlled program begins. The resistance level during the heart rate controlled workout is controlled by the machine, increasing or decreasing as necessary to keep your heart rate on target.

In the 30:30 advanced program you select a "Sprint" Level for the 'work' portion of your workout. The rest and recovery intervals are set to Level 1.

Use the quick-reference charts on the following pages to help select and set up the programs.

HEART RATE FEATURES

Heart Rate Monitoring And Heartlogic Intelligence

The xR6 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 xR6xi 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 handlebars.

The xR6xi features 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 xR6x and xR6xi. 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 (xR6xi)	The wireless chest strap transmits your heart rate to the xR6xi electronics console at a distance of up to three feet. You may use any PolarTM-compatible (5 KHz, 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.
Using a Bluetooth heart rate monitor (xR6xi)	You can connect a Bluetooth heart rate monitor to your xR6xi through the SMARTLINK app. While wearing your monitor, open SMARTLINK. A message will appear in the app indicating that a heart monitor has been detected. Select "YES" to connect the monitor to your elliptical. A message is then displayed confirming the connection, and the Bluetooth icon next to your heart rate reading in the app will be illuminated.
Using an ANT+ heart rate monitor (xR6xi)	To connect your ANT+ monitor to your xR6xi, stand close to the right side of the Octane console while wearing your monitor until the ANT+ icon in the upper right corner of the console illuminates. This indicates that your device is connected and you may then proceed with your workout.
Heart rate programs (xR6xi)	The xR6xi provides 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.
