Setting up the charging station
On charging the battery of aibo
Charge the battery under the condition where the ambient temperature is within the range from 5 °C to 35 °C (41 °F
to 95 °F). If the temperature is out of this range, the battery may not be fully charged.
While you are charging the battery or using aibo, aibo’s body temperature may rise. This, however, does not indicate
a malfunction of aibo.
Even if you do not intend to use aibo for an extended period of time, charge the battery every 6 months to keep it
from deteriorating.
If aibo has not been used for an extended period of time, it may take more time to charge the battery.
If the battery power wears out in about a half of its standard battery life, the battery life may be coming to an end. For
replacing the battery, visit the online support page and see the information about battery replacement.
On handling the AC adapter
Use the supplied AC adapter with the charging station. Use of any AC adapter other than the supplied one will cause
a malfunction of aibo.
For connecting the AC adapter to a power source, use an AC outlet that is easy to access. When there is an issue
with the operation of aibo, immediately unplug the power cord from the AC outlet to cut the power supply.
The supplied AC adapter is exclusively designed for use in USA. Do not use the adapter in any other countries or
regions, or with any other voltages.
Do not connect the AC adapter to an electronic voltage transformer designed for travelers to avoid the risk of heat
generation or a malfunction of the adapter.
When you leave home, for example, for vacation and do not intend to use the supplied AC adapter for an extended
period of time, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.
The supplied power cord is exclusively designed for aibo’s charging station. It should not be used with any other
electric devices.
Notes on the Auto photo/streaming feature of aibo
Use the Auto photo/streaming feature in compliance with the moral standards.
Taking photos of others and/or making such photos open to the public may result in a violation of privacy or portrait
rights. Before you take photos of others, be sure to obtain their consent.
On handling the SIM card
The SIM card in aibo is solely provided for use with aibo. Do not use it with any other products.
When you removed the SIM card from aibo, be sure not to misplace it and watch over small children to prevent them
from swallowing the card.
For removing the SIM card, see Features inside aibo's body (Button, Switch, SIM card slot) .
On cleaning
When aibo or the charging station is soiled with small particles and dust, gently wipe them off with a dry, soft cloth.
