AT-Heart Rate (AT-HR) Calculation Function (P. 20)
Target Zone Function (PP.15 & 17)
Estimate of Marathon Finish Time (P. 22)
ASICS HRM (Heart Rate Monitor) Watch measures heart rate, and calculates
“AT-Heart Rate” and “AT-Pace” from running data using the proprietary
algorithm developed by ASICS, providing runners with useful information to
perform their training efciently and effectively.
■AT (Anaerobic Threshold) refers to the point at which your body transitions
from aerobic to anaerobic exercise as the exercise intensity increases.
When the exercise intensity (running pace) exceeds the AT, the exercise
gradually becomes anaerobic, making it difcult to continue running for
long.
The AT has a strong relation with marathon pace. It not only provides a
measure to control the intensity of training efciently, but also serves as a
guideline for your race pace.
■ASICS HRM Watch automatically calculates AT-Heart Rate and AT-Pace using
the algorithm developed by ASICS Institute of Sports Science based on its
accumulated database.
By setting the target heart rate zone around AT-Heart Rate, and performing
various types of training programs day by day utilizing the target zone,
higher effect can be expected from less amount of training.
For the runners seeking to complete a marathon,
or those aiming to improve their performance,
planning training programs based on the AT-Heart
Rate will enhance the efciency of training and,
achieve their purposes more effectively.
For the runners worrying about their running
pace, the AT-Pace will serve as a guideline for their
race pace.
The watch calculates your AT-Heart Rate and
AT-Pace by inputting your gender, personal best
time for 5 or 10 km (preferably, the time measured
within last 2 years), and running data obtained by
running a usual distance at a usual pace.
For the details of the method of training based on
the heart rate zones, please refer to the “Training
Book.”
The watch indicates, while you are running,
whether your heart rate is above, below or within
the target zone around your AT-Heart Rate. This
function helps you perform training based on
heart rate zones in a well-balanced manner.
It is possible to customize this function by nely
adjusting the target heart rate (”TARGET”) and the
zone width above/below it (”ZONE”).
For the details of the method of training based on
the heart rate zones, please refer to the “Training
Book.”
Using the algorithm developed by ASICS, the
watch estimates your nish times for a full
marathon and a half marathon by inputting your
gender and running time for 5 or 10 km.

It starts counting down the set time
simultaneously with the start of the
chronograph, and is reset and restarted
repeatedly each time a lap time is measured.
This timer is suitable for such training
programs as interval training and build-up
training.
By wearing the chest strap, the heart rate data
it measures is transmitted to the watch, and
displayed automatically. The watch can be
used alone without wearing the chest strap as
a sports watch.
When the heart rate is not measured properly,
the color and shape of the heart shape change
to indicate the poor measurement condition.
The transition of heart rate during the latest
run is displayed graphically. As detailed data,
heart rate at each time point of the graph can
be checked numerically.
Two timers repeat counting down the
respective set times alternately as many times
as necessary. They can be set to count down
from 10 seconds up to 99 hours 59 minutes
and 59 seconds, and the countdown can be
repeated up to 99 times.
Up to 300 measurement data can be stored in
memory.
The time of two different time zones can be set
and displayed as necessary.
The alarm can be set to ring at three different
times of a day. It can be engaged or
disengaged channel by channel, and the time
zone of the designated alarm time can be
selected.

■To Take Exercise Safely
To minimize the risk of exercise-related disease, check your health condition
before starting exercise.
Even if you have not noticed any sign of disease in your daily life, make sure
that you have no health problem.
If you answer yes to any one of the following questions of the checklist, it is
recommended that you should consult a doctor before starting doing
exercise on a regular basis.
Checklist:
① Do you currently have a symptom of a disease, or are you undergoing
treatment of a disease?
② Do you have a medical history of a respiratory or circulatory disease, and
are you concerned about your health?
③ Do you sometimes feel pain or discomfort in your chest during daily
activities?
④ Do you sometimes feel palpitation, breathlessness, dizziness or extreme
fatigue during daily activities?
⑤ Did you recently experience a sudden weight change (either gain or loss)
in a short period of time?
⑥ Are you using a pacemaker or any other implantable electronic medical device?
⑦ Are you pregnant?
zThe heart rate measured during exercise is affected not only by the
intensity of the exercise but also by the extent of strain felt by the
exerciser, temperature, medicine taken before exercise (hypotensive,
antasthmatic, psychotropic, or other drugs), or intake of alcohol, nicotine,
or some types of energy drinks.
zThe AT-Heart Rate calculated by this product and the heart rate zone
indications given by the Target Zone function serve as a measure of
intensity of training and a guideline for race pace. However, the exercise
intensity and the running pace provided by this product are for guideline
purposes only, and should not be followed indiscriminately by the user.
If the intensity of the exercise or running is felt hard, it is recommended
that it should be stopped, or the intensity or the pace should be reduced.
zIf you feel unexpected chest pain or breathlessness during exercise, stop
it immediately. If the symptom persists after a short rest, it is
recommended that you should consult your doctor.
zIf you have not exercised regularly for more than 5 years, you are
recommended to start exercise with walking (especially if you are over 40
years of age). When you have become able to walk for more than 30
minutes on end, increase the time and distance of running gradually, for
example, by walking for 5 minutes and running for 5 minutes at rst, and
walking for 5 minutes and running for 10 minutes next time.
zBefore starting exercise, perform sufcient warm-up and stretching
exercises. If you have a rather sedentary lifestyle, they should be
performed particularly painstakingly.
zNever use this product if you are using a pacemaker or any other
implantable electronic medical device.
zIf you are allergic to something that comes into contact with your skin, or
if you have experienced an allergic reaction when using a similar type of
product, you are recommended to refer to P. 25 of this manual to check
the materials used for this product, and consult your doctor for advice.
zIf the chest strap rubs strongly against moist clothing, it may stain the
clothing due to color transfer. Special care should be taken when
wearing light-colored clothing.
■Safety Precautions
11
THIS PRODUCT IS NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE
zThis product is designed to monitor the heart rate during running for the
purpose of enhancing training effect, and is not intended for use in
treatment of any disease.
zIt should be noted that the heart rate values indicated by the watch serve
as a general guideline only, as they vary widely from person to person
depending on personal physical constitution, and even in one person
depending on the day-to-day physical condition.
zNever use the chest strap in water, such as in a pool.
TO MEASURE HEART RATE - 1 : HEALTH CHECK BEFORE RUNNING

●To prevent injuries and make your training more effective, perform sufcient warm-up and stretch exercises before starting running. They are particularly
important for those who have sedentary lifestyle, and should be performed painstakingly.
■Before Starting Exercise
Stretching is one of the most important warm-up exercises. It can alleviate
the strain of muscles, and increase the range of motion of joints.
The following are the stretching exercises typically performed before
starting running or walking.
1. Stretch whole body.
Stand with the feet shoulder-width apart, and put the hands on the back
of the head with the ngers interlocked. Then, slowly stretch straight
upwards.
2. Stretch the waist.
Stand with the feet shoulder-width apart, and put the hands on the back
of the head with the ngers interlocked. Then, lean the upper body
slowly sideways.
3. Rotate the shoulders (to a larger extent).
Make circles with the arms by moving them from the back of the body
to the front, and then, in the opposite direction, so that you feel the
shoulder blades move to a large extent.
4. Rotate the shoulders (to a smaller extent).
Place the hands on the shoulders. Make circles with the elbows by
moving them from the back of the body to the front, and then, in the
opposite direction, so that you feel the shoulder blades move.
5. Stretch the groin.
Place one foot in front of you away from the other. While keeping the
back leg straight
, slowly lower the hips so that you feel a stretch in the
groin of the back leg, taking care lest the knee of the front leg should go
beyond the toes.
6. Stretch the back of the thigh.
Place one foot in front of you away from the other. While keeping the
front leg straight
, slowly bend the upper body by thrusting out the hips,
so that you feel a stretch in the back of the thigh and calf of the front leg.

HR-CHR MODE
7. Stretch the Achilles tendon.
Place one foot in front of you
away from the other. While keeping the
back leg straight, slowly move the hips forward until you feel a stretch
in the calf and the Achilles tendon of the back leg. Keep the heel of the
back foot at on the ground.
8. Stretch the front of the thigh.
Standing straight on one leg, hold the top of the other foot with the
hand of the same side. Slowly pull the heel toward the buttock.

Length of rubber strap
■Adjustment of Rubber Strap Length
1. Moisten the electrode portions on both sides
of the inner surface of the sensor unit
sufciently with water.
2. Adjust the length of the rubber strap.
3. Wear the chest strap just below the breast,
and adjust the length lest it is fastened too
tightly around your chest. Also, check that
the electrode portions are kept in secure
contact with your skin.
M size strap (with black stitching)
●Take care not to shorten the rubber strap too much to wear the chest
strap too tightly around your chest, as this may cause you to feel sick,
putting pressure on your heart. If you nd the chest strap too tight,
loosen the rubber strap immediately.
●The rubber strap is consumable. Its elasticity reduces with use, and the
chest strap will not t well around your chest even if its length remains
the same. If you nd the chest strap loose around your chest, shorten
the rubber strap length for secure t.
●If you feel the chest strap still loose around your chest after shortening
the rubber strap length, the rubber strap has reached the end of its
serviceable life. It is recommended that a new rubber strap be
purchased at the retailer from whom your HRM Watch was purchased.
ὲ CAUTION

■Target Zone Function
TO MEASURE HEART RATE - 5 : TARGET ZONE FUNCTION
HR-CHR MODE
●The watch indicates whether your heart rate is above, within or below the target heart rate zone during measurement.
The watch indicates, in real time, whether your heart rate while running is above,
within or below the target heart rate zone which includes the AT-Heart Rate at its
center.
For the details of the training method based on the target heart rate zone, please
refer to the “Training Book.”
Target heart rate (”TARGET”) : The center value of the target heart rate zone
(Initial setting: AT-Heart Rate)
Zone width (”ZONE”) : The width above or below the target heart
rate within the target heart rate zone
(Initial setting: “7”)
Heart rate
“HI” Zone
Target heart rate zone
“IN” Zone
“LO” Zone
Once the data input is performed to calculate your AT-Heart Rate in the HR-LOG
Mode (see p. 20), the target heart rate (”TARGET”) and the zone width (”ZONE”) of
the Target Zone function is automatically set to your AT-Heart Rate and “7”,
respectively.
To customize the Target Zone function to meet your needs, input desired the target
heart rate (”TARGET”) and the zone width (”ZONE”) in the Function Setting Display
of the HR-CHR Mode (see p. 17).
●The level of your heart rate is indicated by the heart shape and alphabets.
Ex.): When the target heart rate (”TARGET”) and the width above or below the
target heart rate (”ZONE”) are set to “149” and “7”, respectively:
Heart rate is above the target zone.
Heart Rate Zone Level of Current Heart Rate Zone Indication
“HI” Zone
“IN” Zone
“LO” Zone
Heart rate is within the target zone.
Heart rate is below the target zone.
* The upper and lower limits of the “IN” Zone is “156” and “142”, respectively.
When the current heart rate measures “180”, it is above the upper limit of the
“IN” Zone, and “HI” is displayed, whereas “LO” is displayed when your heart rate
is “120” as it is below the lower limit of the “IN” Zone.
* When neither the AT-Heart Rate nor the target heart rate (”TARGET”) has been
set, the Target Zone function will not work, and the zone indication will not be
displayed.
