    What should I do to make aibo learn the location of its charging station?

    If aibo does not recognize the location of its charging station, follow these steps to help it learn where the charging station is and return to it for charging.

    1. Place aibo facing the charging station and position it at least 50 cm (20 in.) from the front edge of the charging station.
    2. Make sure aibo is aligned straight with the charging station and is not angled to the left or right.
    3. In a quiet environment with minimal TV noise or conversation, say "Charging Station" to aibo.
    4. Confirm that aibo moves to the charging station on its own and begins charging.
    5. While aibo is charging, do not remove it from the charging station.
    6. After charging is complete, allow aibo to leave the charging station on its own.
    7. Allow aibo to play near the charging station so it can continue learning its location.

    Notes:

    • Place the charging station in a bright room, away from direct sunlight.
    • Install it in a location where the room temperature does not exceed 35 °C (95 °F).
    • Keep the area around the charging station clear of objects: 50 cm (20 in.) in front and behind, and 15 cm (6 in.) to the left and right.
      Do not place any objects around the charging station.
