Stopping the AIBO® Entertainment Robot activity The AIBO robot continues to be in Autonomous mode while self-charging. If you will not be playing with the AIBO robot for a long time, want to deactivate it in an emergency, or change settings, you can stop the AIBO robot's activity as follows. Putting the AIBO robot in Pause mode Press the pause button* located on the AIBO robot's back. The operation light flashes green for a while and then goes out. Note that a slight amount of current will be drawn from the battery while the AIBO robot activity is stopped. When not intending to use the AIBO robot for a long time, remove the battery. Removing the battery Hold the AIBO robot firmly by its body and turn it upside down, then open the stomach compartment cover and move the battery latch to the rear to remove the battery. Caution • Be sure to press the pause button on the AIBO Battery latch robot's back. Be sure to put the AIBO robot in Pause mode before removing the battery. • When removing the battery, support it with your hand. Otherwise, the battery may pop out and fall. * Why is it called a pause button? Unlike conventional electrical products found in the home, the AIBO robot has no power switch. It is designed as an autonomous robot that moves and learns on its own, while communicating with its surroundings. The AIBO robot carries out autonomous actions when it wants to play and charges itself when the battery power becomes weak. Therefore, no power switch is necessary for the AIBO robot. However, when you wish to stop, or need to stop the AIBO robot in cases as such emergencies, you can press a dedicated button located on the AIBO robot's back to temporarily stop its movement. That is why this is called the "pause button" and not the "power button". 36
