Getting Started
To return AIBO to autonomous mode, press its head sensor for more than 3
seconds.
x Pick-up condition
AIBO changes to this condition when you pick it up. Its legs loosen to make it
easier to hold AIBO while its head and tail continue moving in a cute way and
the mode indicator flashes.
To return AIBO to autonomous mode, put it on the floor. If it doesn’t return to
autonomous mode after a while, press its head sensor for more than 3 seconds.
xStation transfer mode (for use with the optional Energy
Station)
In this mode, AIBO assumes the “charging posture” (page 20) that allows it to
be placed on the optional Energy Station (referred to as the “station”
hereafter). If you leave AIBO alone for five or more minutes without placing it
on the station, it will return to autonomous mode.
x Station mode
After being placed on the station, AIBO continues to make various
movements, but cannot dismount from the station on its own.
