Pick-up condition
When you lift up AIBO to hold, AIBO draws its legs
in to make it easier for you to hold AIBO ("pick-up
condition"). This condition is to prevent you from
getting surprised by the movement of AIBO when
picking it up, and then dropping it. If AIBO does not
enter this Pick-up condition, push the tail switch in
the back direction for 3 seconds while lifting it up.
While picked up, AIBO moves only its head attractively, and the mode indicator
lights.
To return AIBO to Autonomous mode, place it on the floor or push the tail switch
in the forward direction for 3 seconds.
Note
When you press two or more of the paw switches of AIBO, AIBO thinks it is placed on
the floor, and then returns to Autonomous mode. The mode indicator goes off. AIBO
may start walking after returning to Autonomous mode, so do not touch any of its paw
switches when you hold it.
