• Remedy
• With a fully charged battery pack, AIBO Recognition can
normally operate for about 1.5 hours (in Autonomous mode). If
the operating period continues to be much shorter, the battery
pack may be reaching the end of its service life. Replace it with a
new battery pack.
• The volume setting may be set to "0."
t Adjust the volume higher (refer to the "AIBO" ERS-210
series Operating Instructions).
• The markers are not set properly on the Station.
t Refer to the "Markers for the AIBO Self-charging Function",
and set them properly.
• AIBO cannot recognize the markers due to its surroundings.
t Make the room brighter (fluorescent lighting is
recommended), and remove any objects from around the
Station that are similar in color to those of the markers. Next,
perform a marker color check (page 26) to test whether AIBO
can find the Station.
• AIBO cannot clearly identify your face.
t Hold your head straight without tilting it to the side. If you
are wearing a distinctive item, such as thick-rimmed glasses,
hair is covering your face, the room is poorly lit, or there is a
light source behind you, AIBO may not be able to identify
you.
