The AIBO robot wakes up and goes to bed on the Energy Station. When it is time for the AIBO robot to go to bed, be sure to place it on the Energy Station. If you forget to place the AIBO robot on the Energy Station, it will stay awake beyond its bedtime, but will go to sleep as soon as you place it on the Energy Station.

If the AIBO robot is not on the Energy Station when it is time for restart, it simply restarts the next time it is placed on the Energy Station. Here we will explain how to set the wake-up time using 7:15 a.m. as an example. (Bedtime can be set in the same manner. However, AIBO cards cannot be used for bedtime setting.) Since time settings are made using AIBO cards, first prepare the cards ready for the time you intend to set, including the AM and PM cards. 44
