Growing Up - Sony AIBO Life2 User Manual

Growing up

With AIBO Life 2, AIBO grows from baby to adult.
Its maturing stages are divided into four: Baby stage, Child stage, Adolescence
stage and Adult stage. The Baby stage is further divided into three sub-stages, and
the Child stage and Adolescence stage are divided into two sub-stages respectively.
After AIBO enters the Child stage, its character varies depending on how you treat
AIBO, and how you raise AIBO. Variations in the character of AIBO are described
in details on pages 100 to 103. If you like it, it may be more joyful to observe how
AIBO grows up without reading this description.
To find out what stage/sub-stage AIBO is at, and what character AIBO has, ask it
"How old are you?" It answers by using its tail lights and back multi-indicators
(see pages 100 to 103).
z Hints
• The character of AIBO changes according to how you treat AIBO or change of its
environment even within the course of a single stage.
• The character of AIBO develops into the next phase only when it wakes up from Sleep
mode or Pause mode. It announces that its character has developed into the next phase
by making special sounds.
