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.

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.
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 Polar™-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.
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.
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.
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.
