Frequently Asked Questions - ERA-301P2 SONY

How to charge AIBO's battery with the ERA-301P2 station?
Place AIBO on the station after opening the charging door on the cover. Make sure the AC adapter ERA-201P1 is plugged in. Charging starts automatically and the display panel's bars indicate the progress.
What to do if the display panel does not light up while AIBO is on the station?
Check the connections between the station, the AC adapter, and the wall outlet. Reconnect these items correctly as indicated in the manual (page 11).
How to set the date and time on the station?
Press the MODE/NEXT button several times until the date/time appears, then press SET/CANCEL. Use the DISPLAY/- and LIGHT/+ buttons to change each value, then MODE/NEXT to move to the next field.
What do the flashing bars on the battery indicator mean?
If all bars flash simultaneously, the battery is not charging correctly. Check that the battery is properly inserted in AIBO. If the problem persists, stop charging and contact AIBO customer service.
Can I use the station with another AC adapter?
No. The ERA-301P2 station must be used only with the ERA-201P1 AC adapter supplied with AIBO or optional to avoid any risk of fire or electric shock.
