AIBO-ware "Memory Sticks"
To play with AIBO ERS-31L, you must provide it with optional AIBO-ware
"Memory Stick," a variety of which are available, depending on how you want
to enjoy your AIBO. Without AIBO-ware, AIBO is just like a body without a
mind. AIBO-ware loaded from a "Memory Stick" works as AIBO's mind and
determines its character and functions.
• An AIBO-ware "Memory Stick" is a "Memory Stick" created just for AIBO,
containing application software for operating AIBO.
• Before purchasing an AIBO-ware "Memory Stick," make sure the AIBO-
ware is compatible with your AIBO model.

Note
If you start up AIBO without inserting an AIBO-ware "Memory Stick," AIBO enters
clinic mode in which its sensors and other parts are checked (page 46).
