Updating the system software automatically
You can have your aibo's system software automatically updated to the latest version.
To ensure your life with aibo that is kept up to date, it is recommended that you enable aibo's Auto update feature. To have the system software automatically updated, however, you need to keep your aibo connected to your Wi-Fi network.
Connect your aibo to your Wi-Fi network and follow these steps to enable the Auto update feature.
Note
-
While aibo is connected to the Internet through a mobile network, the system software must be updated manually even if the Auto update feature is enabled. For details, see Checking for latest updates to the system software.
- Open the My aibo home screen.
- Do either of the following depending on the app in use.
The system software is automatically updated while aibo is charging its built-in battery on its own.
-
On the My aibo app for smartphones:
- Tap aibo to display the aibo menu.
- Tap [Settings] - [System] - [Auto update].
-
On the My aibo app for computers:
- Select [System updates] - [Auto update] - [Automatically] on the [Settings] tab.
-
- Wait until aibo gets up and starts walking.
While the update is in progress, aibo's status LED flashes sequentially in green, red, and orange.
When the status LED stops flashing and aibo gets up and starts walking, it means that the update is complete.
Note
-
Once the system software is updated, there is no way to restore the system software to the previous version.
-
If you turn off your aibo while an update of the system software is in progress, it will abort the update and may cause aibo unable to function properly or at all. Do not turn off your aibo before its status LED stops flashing and aibo gets up and starts walking.
