Next, perform a sensor check in Clinic mode (page 135) to test whether the AIBO robot can find the Energy Station. • The AIBO robot is set to not self-charge. c Select the desired setting for self-charge/no self-charge (page 60). • A battery other than specified for guaranteed operation has been inserted. c Use only the specified battery (ERA-7B2) for the ERS7M3. • When voice recognition or AIBO card recognition occurs, the AIBO robot will start to self-charge. • The AIBO robot cannot clearly identify your face. c Hold your head straight without tilting it to the side. If you are wearing a distinctive item, such as thick-rimmed glasses, or if your hair is covering your face, the AIBO robot may find it difficult to identify you. c Because recognition may also fail if the room is poorly lit, or there is a light source behind you, perform registration in a brightly lit room. Fluorescent lighting is recommended. Troubleshooting 131

Troubleshooting
131
The AIBO
®
Entertainment
Robot does not self-charge.
The station pole and station marker are not mounted correctly.
c
Attach these parts correctly (page 34).
The AIBO robot cannot recognize the station marker due to its
surroundings.
c
Make the room brighter (fluorescent lighting is
recommended), and remove any objects from around the
Energy Station that are similar in color to those of the
station pole and/or station marker. Next, perform a sensor
check in Clinic mode (page 135) to test whether the AIBO
robot can find the Energy Station.
The AIBO robot is set to not self-charge.
c
Select the desired setting for self-charge/no self-charge
(page 60).
After self-charge is
completed, the AIBO robot
does not leave the Energy
Station on its own. Power to
the AIBO robot is suddenly
cut off.
A battery other than specified for guaranteed operation has
been inserted.
c
Use only the specified battery (ERA-7B2) for the ERS-
7M3.
The AIBO robot self-charges,
although it is set to not self-
charge.
When voice recognition or AIBO card recognition occurs, the
AIBO robot will start to self-charge.
Cannot perform owner
registration.
The AIBO robot cannot clearly identify your face.
c
Hold your head straight without tilting it to the side. If you
are wearing a distinctive item, such as thick-rimmed
glasses, or if your hair is covering your face, the AIBO
robot may find it difficult to identify you.
c
Because recognition may also fail if the room is poorly lit,
or there is a light source behind you, perform registration in
a brightly lit room. Fluorescent lighting is recommended.
