Let the AIBO
®
Entertainment Robot rest on
the Energy Station
The Energy Station is the AIBO robot’s favorite resting place. If you are done playing with
the AIBO robot, are going out, or going to bed, let the AIBO robot rest on its Energy Station.
While positioned there, the AIBO robot will recharge and relax.
Placing the AIBO robot on the
Energy Station
As soon as you place the AIBO robot on the Energy
Station, charging begins. For details on the charging
process, see page 51.
If you place the AIBO robot on the Energy Station
while the AIBO robot is active, it will automatically
go into Station mode and recharge and relax.
z Hints
• The AIBO robot can also wake up or go to sleep while on the Energy Station (page 44). The AIBO robot
will also restart itself once a day on the Energy Station in order to save data and perform other
maintenance functions.
• Before going out and leaving the AIBO robot, we recommend you set up the AIBO robot so that it will
not dismount the Energy Station while you are away. For details, see page 54.
Caution
• There shouldn’t be any objects within reach of the AIBO robot’s front legs. Otherwise the legs may hit
and overturn the object when the AIBO robot tries to move, or the AIBO robot may fall off the Energy
Station.
• Do not move the AIBO robot’s rear legs while it is in Station mode. Otherwise the front legs, which can
move while in Station mode, may hit the rear legs.
Removing the AIBO robot from the
Energy Station
To have the AIBO robot move about freely, gently lift it off
the Energy Station and place it on the floor, as shown in the
illustration.
The AIBO robot will be in Autonomous mode and move
autonomously.
If the AIBO robot is not on the Energy Station, it will not go to sleep or wake up at preset
times (page 44).
