• Ifthereceiver(console)triestoprocessseveralsignalssimultaneously,anincorrectheartratereading
could result. In a commercial setting, space the products at least 24” apart. This will prevent cross-talk,
where the chest strap signal from a user on one machine can be received and displayed on the console of
another machine.
• Donotplacethecheststrapneardevicesthatgeneratelargemagneticfields.Televisionsets,electric
motors, radios, and high voltage power lines can affect the transmitter’s performance. These items can
interfere with the heart rate signal that is being transmitted to the receiver, possibly affecting the heart
rate readings that appear on the electronic console.
• Do not immerse the transmitter in water. However, some moisture is necessary for the transmitter to
function properly. Perspiration is usually sufficient, but you may need to moisten the electrodes with a
small amount of water. The electrodes are the ribbed portion on the side of the transmitter that sits against
your skin.

Some individuals are unable to use the heart rate feature because they do not have the proper body chemistry
to provide accurate readings. If you experience difficulties in using the contact heart rate grips or a wireless
chest strap, contact your dealer or Octane Fitness Customer Service at 1.888.OCTANE4.
