Notes on use
On handling the AC adapter
•Be sure to use the supplied AC adapter. Using any other adapter may cause damage.
•Do not connect the AC adapter to a transformer for tourists traveling abroad. Doing so may cause damage.
On handling the battery pack for AIBO
•Be sure to charge the battery pack as instructed.
•To prevent short circuit accidents, do not allow metal objects such as a necklace to touch the terminals (A).
•Be careful not to let foreign matter like dust or sand get into the terminals (A). If it does, remove it with a soft stick, etc.
•Do not expose the battery pack to temperatures above 140 °F (60 °C), such as in a car parked in the sun.
•Do not let the battery pack get wet.
•The battery pack heats up just after using it. Before removing the battery pack, wait for a while until it cools.
•Keep the battery pack in a cool place and charge it at room temperature from 50 °F to 86 °F (from 10 °C to 30 °C). By doing so, the battery life will be longer.
•The battery life is shorter in a cold environment. When the temperature drops below 50 °F (10 °C), the battery efficiency will decrease.
•You do not need to discharge the battery before recharging it. You can charge it at any time.
•The battery pack is constantly discharging even when it is not in use. Charge the battery pack right before using AIBO.
•If the battery discharges more quickly than usual, it may have reached the end of its lifetime.
