Your elliptical also has an intelligent sleep mode—a virtual off button. After a few minutes without use, the machine will automatically power down. You may also ‘wake’ your machine by simple getting on and beginning to pedal.Quick Start The easiest way for you to start your workout is to simply push the Quick Start button, setting the machine in a manual program at resistance Level 1 and Stride Length 21”. The calories readout will be based on a 150 lb. (68 kg) user, age 40. Once you have selected Quick Start, you can program Time, Level or Stride (on the Q47) in any order. (Age and Weight can only be changed by selecting one of the Programs on your elliptical and entering the values during Program set-up.)
6CROSS CiRCUIT(Q37xi, Q47xi)Press the CROSS CiRCUIT button on the Q37xi or Q47xi to get right into the CROSS CiRCUIT Time program, an Octane Favorite! This program combines cardio intervals on the elliptical with sets of strength and toning exercises off the machine using simple equipment such as hand weights or a fitness ball or the optional CROSS CiRCUIT foot platforms and Powerbands.30:30(Q37xi, Q47xi)Another Octane Favorite is 30:30. Press this button on the Q37xi or Q47xi to take on this 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(Q47x, Q47xi) SmartStride, available exclusively on Octane Fitness Q47 series ellipticals, automatically 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.Fan(Q47xi)Press the Fan button on the Q47xi to initiate a cool breeze to help keep you comfortable as you workout. Press again to increase the airflow (two additional levels), or a fourth time to turn it off. Move the vent as desired to direct the airflow.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 icon in the lower right corner of the LCD lights 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.

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, prompting you to perform combinations of eight different challenges:Fast Pick up the pace—we recommend 50-60 rpm, but you should find your own comfort level.Squat Bend slightly at the knees as you pedal. You’ll feel this one in your quadriceps and glutes in no time!Reverse Pedal backwards to change the muscle focus on your entire lower body.Lean Back Grab the stationary handlebars and lean slightly backwards. This changes the muscle focus to your lower body. You will feel this in your quadriceps.Lower Body Only Either hold the stationary handlebars or naturally swing your arms.Push-Arms Focus on pushing with your arms to work your chest and triceps.Pull-Arms Focus on pulling with your arms to work your biceps and lats.Slow Slow down to 30-40 rpm to allow yourself to recover.During an X-Mode session, the level of resistance can be changed by pressing any () or () key on the keypad. ArmBlaster Press the “Boost Your Workout” button a second time to select ArmBlaster, a proprietary program designed to boost cardiovascular endurance while building strength and muscle tone. ArmBlaster adds upper-body strength sessions to the cardio program profile that you have selected. Every minute, resistance increases for a muscle-building, 10-repetition set as you transfer the workload from your lower body to your upper body. During the ArmBlaster rep countdown, the level of resistance can be changed by pressing any () or () key. Tip: If your elliptical is equipped with the optional CROSS CiRCUIT+ stationary foot platforms, step onto the platforms during your ArmBlaster sessions for an even more intense upper-body challenge.GluteKicker GluteKicker is an aggressive subset of X-Mode that is focused on your glutes, hips, and thighs. It uses four prompts: Reverse, Squat, Fast, and Lean Back. Initiate GluteKicker sessions by pressing the “Boost Your Workout” button a third time. Each session lasts for one minute, followed by a one-minute recovery period. During the GluteKicker 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: On the Q37xi and Q47xi you can customize some of the booster settings, such as interval times and resistance changes.

Note: You must be wearing a wireless heart rate transmitter or consistently grasping the contact heart rate sensor grips on the stationary handlebars.Displays the resistance level (1-20), where 1 is the lowest resistance level and 20 is the highest.When lit, this icon indicates that M.O.M. mode (described under “Keypad Buttons”) is active.SMARTLIGHT®SMARTLIGHTSMARTLIGHT at the top of the console communicates important information for your workout. On all models of the Q37 and Q47, SMARTLIGHT functions primarily as an intensity meter, giving you visual affirmation as your resistance level or speed increases or decreases.On the deluxe Q37xi and Q47xi models, 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 10 or more beats lower than your goal, changing to light blue as you get closer to your goal, and to green when you are at target. SMARTLIGHT changes to yellow when your heart rate starts to go above your goal, and to red when you are 10 or more beats 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”.• CROSS CiRCUIT program phase indicator. During CROSS CiRCUIT program cardio intervals, SMARTLIGHT functions as an intensity meter. During a strength interval, SMARTLIGHT blinks on and off (in 1 second intervals) to help you count your off-machine time.
12OCTANE FITNESS PROGRAMSThe Q37x has eight built-in programs to keep your workouts interesting: Classic programs: Manual—Random—Interval—Beginner Goal programs: Distance Goal—Calorie Goal Cross-Circuit programs: CC Time—CC FreeThe Q47x and Q47xi also include two adjustable stride programs: Stride programs: Stride Interval—Dual DirectionThe Q37xi and Q47xi with wireless heart rate include an additional four programs to further challenge and motivate: Heart rate and advanced programs: Fat Burn—HR Interval—30:30—MMAPrograms 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 LevelExcept 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 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.Advanced ProgramsIn the advanced programs you select a Level for the ‘work’ portion of your workout. In 30:30, you enter a “Sprint” level, and for MMA you enter a “Fight” level. The rest and recovery intervals are set to Level 1.What Are the CROSS CiRCUIT Programs?CROSS CiRCUIT is a whole new way of working out with your Octane elliptical.

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. Rounds (3)Intensity (High)Stride (21”/52 cm) (Q47x/Q47xi)Age (40)Weight (150 lbs./68kg)Fight Level (6)Take on your toughest opponent yet—the Octane elliptical! Battle it out in 5-minute rounds that include 5 alternating ‘fight’ and ‘recover’ intervals of various lengths. The harder you punch with your arms, the harder the Octane elliptical ‘fights back’ with increased resistance. This great workout gets your heart —and your fists —pumping!GOAL PROGRAMSPrograms & Standard Settings DescriptionDistance (10K) Stride (21”/52 cm) (Q47x/Q47xi)Level (5)Age (40)Weight (150 lbs./68 kg)Complete a virtual race—a great way to train for an actual event.

18PRODUCT FEATURESThe Octane Fitness Q37 and Q47 ellipticals incorporate additional features to ensure that you experience great workouts, including electronically adjustable stride with SmartStride, HeartLogic Intelligence and MultiGrip handlebars. Heart Rate Monitoring and HeartLogic IntelligenceThe Q37 and Q47 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 Q37xi and Q47xi are 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 Q37xi and Q47xi feature 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 sensorsThe digital contact heart rate sensors are located on the stationary handlebars of the Q37x and Q37xi and on the Multigrip moving handlebars of the Q47x and Q47xi. 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(Q37xi, Q47xi)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(Q37xi, Q47xi)The Q37xi and Q47xi provide 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.
19WalkJogRunReverseElectronically Adjustable Stride with SmartStride™ (Q47x and Q47xi)The Q47 Series elliptical cross trainers are equipped with electronically adjustable stride, providing a custom fit for your body and your workout. Adjustable stride isn’t just for fine-tuning the workout to your height – it custom fits your Octane cross trainer to your size and style and adds valuable variety.By pressing the Stride (/) buttons on the console or the left moving handlebar, you can change the stride length from 18” (46 cm) to 26” (66 cm) in ½-inch (1 cm) increments. This added variety is great to use for different workouts, directions, warm-ups and cool-downs.SmartStride™Octane Fitness delivers the most advanced, ergonomically correct and inherently better elliptical cross training workouts ever with its proprietary SmartStride. SmartStride automatically replicates natural movement by analyzing and measuring an exerciser’s pace and direction and intuitively adjusting stride length from 18 inches (46 cm) to 26 inches (66 cm). These interactive ergonomics custom-fit the cross trainer to the exerciser for effective, comfortable, results-producing workouts unlike those on any other piece of fitness equipment.To provide the most effective workouts on a cross trainer, the Octane design team spent years studying the biomechanics of different types of exercises, analyzing how the body moves naturally. This research, along with precise gait analysis, prototype testing and extensive user interviews, shows that stride length naturally varies according to an individual’s height, leg length, flexibility, speed of travel and preference for lower or higher intensity motion. Overall results indicated that: Walking tends to use shorter stridesJogging uses medium length stridesRunning requires longer stridesReverse motion shortens the stride length and shifts the torso lower and backward to increase stability and balanceStride length preference changes with direction; exercisers prefer a longer motion for traveling forward and require a shorter motion in reverse. In addition, research shows elliptical users tend to hold one pace steady throughout workouts, a pace that is matched to a fixed stride length. Researchers found that faster or slower speeds feel unnatural when stride lengths were not adjusted accordingly. You will soon find that SmartStride is a valuable and integral component in providing the most effective workouts available.
20What Should My Stride Length Be?The Q47 Series ellipticals offer Octane Fitness’ unique size-based programming to help you find your optimum stride length for walking, jogging, and running. When you exercise at your perfect stride length, you can burn more calories, avoid injuries, and feel better during your workouts.Octane’s research has found that the distance from your hip socket joint through your knee to your heel is the most precise measurement to determine an appropriate stride length. We call this measurement your Hip Indexing Pivot (HIP) number. To find your HIP number, first move the right pedal back while pushing the right handlebar forward, stopping the handlebar in its forward-most position (Figure 1). Then stand next to the right handlebar and note the number on the HIP Ruler that is closest to your hip socket (Figure 2). Use this HIP number to find your optimum forward and reverse stride lengths in the table on the following page, or enter it into your elliptical using the SmartStride customization features described below to get a workout sized just for you!Note: If it is not convenient for you to measure for your HIP number, you can also get an approximate HIP number, based on your height, from the table on the following page. This table also references your recommended SmartStride lengths.Setting Your SmartStride Length for Your WorkoutOnce you have your HIP number and the corresponding optimum forward and reverse stride lengths, you can enter these values into your Octane elliptical at any time during your workout. On the Q47xi, you can also set these values as the default for your workout session using the SmartStride customization feature. Just press and hold the SmartStride button for three seconds and follow the prompts. This will ensure that you are working out with your optimum stride lengths throughout your entire session.1312111098AlignHip Socket withHip RulerFigure 2Figure 1HIP RulerRight handlebar all the way forwardRight pedal all the way back
