Handling the AIBO robot

• Do not use the AIBO robot in locations where there is a danger of falling objects, where
the AIBO robot may be subject to vibrations, where there are stairs or steps, and where
there is no firm support.
• Do not exert strong forces on the AIBO robot, such as pushing with hands or elbows.
• Do not subject the AIBO robot to shocks, and protect it from falls. Otherwise data may be
lost and damage may occur.
• Do not touch the charging contacts. Otherwise contact problems may occur.
• Do not lift the AIBO robot by its head, ears, tail, or legs and do not twist these parts.
• Do not forcibly place the AIBOne toy or any other object in the AIBO robot's mouth.
• Do not subject the AIBO robot to extreme temperatures, by leaving it in direct sunlight or
in a closed car.
• Do not insert paper clips or any other foreign objects into the AIBO robot's body or in any
joints.
• Do not use the AIBO robot outdoors. Otherwise, it may be damaged by water or foreign
objects.
• Do not use the AIBO robot on concrete floors or similar hard surfaces. Otherwise it may
be damaged and malfunction may occur.
• Do not use the AIBO robot on slippery floors or on thick-piled carpets. Otherwise it may
be damaged by falling over or by carpet hair getting caught in the joints, which prevents
the AIBO robot from moving forward.

• Do not touch the color camera lens or distance sensors.
• Do not cover the color camera lens or distance sensors with stickers or similar objects.

ON. Otherwise the camera may be damaged.
• Do not lubricate any of the joints or other moving parts of the AIBO robot.
• Do not attach stickers, ribbons, or any other object that could jam or restrict any of the
AIBO robot's moving parts.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the AIBO robot. Your manufacturer's limited
warranty will not be honored if you modify your AIBO robot.
• When transporting the AIBO robot, use the original packing or another suitable box that
will protect the body, head, tail, and legs from external force and shocks.
