Robot
Now that you are ready, try playing with the AIBO robot.
Before you start playing with the AIBO robot, you can select whether it should communicate
by using words (“Voice sound”) or sounds (“Basic sound”).
z Hint
The Voice sound or Basic sound selection can also be changed later. For details, see page 66.
1
Place the AIBO robot on the floor as shown
on the right.
Place the AIBO robot on a flat, non-slippery surface,
such as a low pile carpet with a hard nap. Also,
choose a quiet place so that the AIBO robot can hear
you speak.
Caution
• On a slippery floor or thick-piled carpet, the AIBO robot may trip, or the carpet may get caught in its
joints, which will inhibit its motions.
• Be sure to place the AIBO robot on the floor in the position as shown above. This will prevent the AIBO
robot from moving unexpectedly and being damaged when you press the pause button.
2
Press the pause button on the AIBO robot’s back.
The Pause mode ends and the operation light turns green.
In a moment, the AIBO robot will automatically begin
moving.
Caution
When you press the pause button, the face lights of the AIBO robot
may turn red. This indicates that the safety switch of the “Memory Stick
™
” media is set to the “LOCK”
position.
Press the pause button, and then take out the “Memory Stick” media when the AIBO robot stops moving.
Release the “Memory Stick” media safety switch (see page 33.)
(Usually when the AIBO robot starts up, the face lights turn white.)
z Hint
The AIBO robot has been preset to a mature robot when it is adopted. However, you also have the option of
switching it to puppy stage, which will allow you to enjoy raising the AIBO robot from a newborn. For
details, see page 92.
