Grasp AIBO securely by the body and
open the rear cover.
Slide the unlock button to open the cover.
Notes
• Pick up AIBO by the body, not by its extremities.
• Do not touch the charging terminal on the underside of AIBO directly with your hand.
Doing so may soil the terminal and cause poor contact.

Insert the Party Mascot “Memory Stick”
in the direction of the arrow with the
label side up.

Insert the battery in the direction of the
arrow until it clicks into place.
5
Close the rear cover and place AIBO on
the floor as shown on the right.
Place it on a flat, non-slippery surface, such as a
carpet with a short nap. And choose a quiet place
so that AIBO can hear the sound controller.
Note
Be sure to place AIBO on the floor as illustrated. This will prevent AIBO from moving
unexpectedly and being damaged when you press and release the pause button.
6
Press the pause button on AIBO’s chest.
AIBO flashes its green eye lights and wags its
head and tail while the software is being loaded
from the “Memory Stick.”
When the software has been loaded, AIBO will
stretch its legs, then assume the game choice
standby posture and turn on its green eye lights.
