(Q37xi, Q47xi)

Another Octane Favorite is 30:30. Press this button on the Q37xi or Q47xi to take on this
(Q37xi, Q47xi)
challenging program which provides a simple test of fitness level with 5 sets of 30-second
sprint and recovery intervals. For each set, the program monitors heart rate and calculates
the average minimum and average maximum heart rates and the average number of beats
the heart rate recovers between sprint intervals. Heart rate recovery is a relative indicator
of fitness level; a higher number indicates a more rapid heart rate recovery and therefore
represents a relatively better level of fitness. Note: For this program to work properly, you
must be wearing a wireless heart rate transmitter or consistently grasping the contact
heart rate sensor grips on the stationary handlebars.
SmartStride SmartStride, available exclusively on Octane Fitness Q47 series ellipticals, automatically
(Q47x, Q47xi)
replicates natural movement by analyzing and measuring an exerciser's pace and direction
and intuitively adjusting stride length in 1-inch (2-centimeter) increments from 18 inches
(46 cm) to 26 inches (66 cm). Press the SmartStride button and pedal at a comfortable
walking speed. The machine will analyze your stride to set a baseline. Then, as you workout
and your pace or direction changes, SmartStride makes the appropriate adjustments to
your stride length. Size-based programming (described later in this manual) allows you to
set the starting forward stride length that best fits your leg length and fitness level. To
deactivate SmartStride, simply push the SmartStride button a second time.

Press this button and then press ENTER to activate Movement Management Mode
(M.O.M.), a unique control feature offered on Octane Fitness ellipticals which disables the
console buttons and increases the resistance in the movement of the pedals so that the
pedals do not move as easily. The
to show that M.O.M. is activated, and the keypad does not respond to key presses. This
control feature may discourage children from experimenting with the machine. To unlock
M.O.M., press the button again, holding it for 3 seconds until the console responds.
CAUTION! M.O.M. mode is provided to reduce the likelihood that children can
pedal the elliptical cross-trainer. This feature does not lock the machine; the
pedals still move and the potential for injury still exists. It is the responsibility
of the user to supervise children and keep them off the elliptical cross trainer to
minimize the likelihood of injury.
Pause Clear
Press once to pause your workout. The standard pause time is 10 minutes. To restart
a paused workout, push any key or just begin pedaling. If you stop pedaling during a
workout, the unit will automatically begin a pause phase; simply start pedaling to resume
your workout. Press the Pause Clear button twice within two seconds, and your machine
is reset and ready for another workout.
