Setting up aibo (Product registration with your My Sony ID is not completed before delivery)

To set up your aibo, you need the dedicated app, My aibo. The My aibo app is available in two versions: one for smartphones and one for computers.

To use the My aibo app for smartphones, download the app to your smartphone. To use the My aibo app for computers, access the My aibo website.

Note

  1. From your smartphone or computer, access the My aibo website at:

    http://aibo.com/myaibo

    On the computer, make sure that the My aibo home screen is displayed on your browser software, and then proceed to step 3.

  2. On the smartphone, install and start the My aibo app, and then select the country or region where you bought your aibo.
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions to sign in to the My aibo app with your My Sony ID.

    Sign in with your My Sony ID that you use for managing your aibo.

  4. Register the owner information (your nickname, birthday, and others).
  5. Do either of the following depending on the app in use.

    • On the My aibo app for smartphones:
    1. Select [Menu] - [Add aibo] on the My aibo home screen.
    2. When product key entry is prompted, select [Scan QR code] and scan the QR code printed on the product key sticker that is supplied with your aibo.

      Alternatively, you can enter the 12-digit alphanumeric code printed on the product key sticker.

    3. Select [Add].

      Your aibo is added to the My aibo app with your My Sony ID and the Set-up screen opens.


    • On the My aibo app for computers:
    1. When product key entry is prompted, enter the 12-digit alphanumeric code printed on the product key sticker that is supplied with your aibo.
    2. Select [Add].

      Your aibo is added to the My aibo app with your My Sony ID and the Set-up screen opens.

  6. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your aibo.

    On the Set-up screen, specify the following:

    • Wi-Fi settings of your aibo

    • Language to talk to your aibo

    • Name and sex of your aibo

    • Volume of your aibo's voice

    • Time zone

    • Whether to let your aibo take photos at will

Note

  • Once aibo's sex is specified, you cannot change it without initializing aibo. To change the current sex, initialize your aibo first, and then use the My aibo app.

    Initializing aibo clears all the data, including memories with its owner, what it learned in daily life, and the settings you made. There is no way to restore the cleared data.
