Communicating By Voice - Sony ERF-310AW09E User Manual

Communicating by voice

AIBO uses a stereo microphone located at its ear to recognize a variety of sounds
and words. Therefore, you can greet, instruct or ask AIBO a question by saying
appropriate words. AIBO almost always responds to you, but may ignore you if it
feels sleepy or is in a bad mood. If AIBO does not seem to be paying attention, say
"Listen to me" to it. AIBO will become still and listen to you.
See page 76 for words apprehensible to AIBO.
Notes
• When you call out to AIBO, speak very clearly and under quiet conditions. Note that it
is not easy for AIBO to understand you when it makes sounds or moves.
• Even though AIBO's horn light lights up in white, it may misunderstand a word(s) you
said or it may not act as instructed.
AIBO's horn light
lights up white
