Troubleshooting
Symptom
AIBO soon asks for charging
even with a fully charged
battery.
Autonomous mode
Symptom
AIBO does not respond to
commands.
AIBO falls asleep all the time.
Remedy
The battery will last a shorter time when AIBO moves in the game
and performance modes.
The battery usually lasts for one to one-and-a-half hours in the
autonomous mode. If the battery continues to have much shorter
operating period, the battery may have reached its battery life.
Replace it with a new battery (see page 76).
Remedy
In the autonomous mode, AIBO does not accept commands for the
performance or game modes.
AIBO does not accept commands while it emits sounds.
The sound controller is not set to operate by numeric commands.
c Set the switch of the sound controller to A/B (see page 25) or
send single sound commands (see “List of commands” on page
91).
The command type may need to be changed.
c Match AIBO’s command type to that of the sound controller by
sending commands (see page 35).
The battery needs to be charged.
c Place AIBO on the station or install a fully charged battery pack
(see page 76).
When AIBO does not receive much human interaction or when it is
simply bored, it will fall asleep (see page 60).
