Notes
• Do not use AIBO
in places subject to
vibrations, on an
incline, or at a
place where it
might drop.
• Do not surround
AIBO with objects
that may obstruct
its movements.
Note
AIBO is in suspended
animation while it is being
charged or on the Energy
Station. AIBO does not
respond to your instruction
in these situations.
If an object gets jammed in AIBO’s neck or leg joint, AIBO loosens up all of its joints. This is to
prevent accidental injury in case you catch your finger in one of its joints. In this condition,
AIBO’s mode indicator will flash.
To return AIBO to normal, push the head-touch sensor in the rear direction for 3 seconds.
