The operation light is flashing
orange. • There may be a problem with the battery.
c Check to see if the battery is inserted correctly into the
AIBO
®
Entertainment Robot. If the flashing continues even
though the battery is inserted correctly, contact the AIBO
Customer Link (customer service).
The AIBO robot asks to be
charged even with a fully
charged battery. • With a fully charged battery, the AIBO MIND software can
normally operate for about 1.5 hours (in Autonomous mode).
If the actual operating period is much shorter, the battery may
be reaching the end of its service life. Replace it with a new
battery specifically designed for the AIBO Entertainment
Robot ERS-7 (battery model: ERA-7B1).
The AIBO robot emits no
sound. • The volume setting may be set to “Mute”.
c
Change the volume setting (page 82).
When the AIBO robot is
placed on the Energy Station,
its activity stops after a while. • The AIBO robot is overheated.
c
Wait for the AIBO robot to cool down. Activity will resume
automatically after an hour or so.
The AIBO robot does not
self-charge. • The station pole and station marker are not mounted correctly.
c Attach these parts correctly (page 30).
• The AIBO robot cannot recognize the station marker due to its
surroundings.
c
Make the room brighter (fluorescent lighting is
recommended), and remove any objects from around the
Energy Station that are similar in color to those of the
station pole and/or station marker. Next, perform a sensor
check in Clinic mode (page 101) to test whether the AIBO
robot can find the Energy Station.
Cannot perform owner
registration. • The AIBO robot cannot clearly identify your face.
c Hold your head straight without tilting it to the side. If you
are wearing a distinctive item, such as thick-rimmed
glasses, hair is covering your face, the room is poorly lit, or
if there is a light source behind you, the AIBO robot may
not be able to identify you.
