Just got a new Pleo RB today. The battery turned green after only an hour, so I inserted it (is it a mistake that I did so?). The pleo only remained on for an hour and the whole time it stayed bowed, never standing or walking. It seems like I can't catch a break and am having the same repeat problems I did with my old Pleo. Can anyone shed some light on this please?

Did you install the watch battery in the foot and set the noon time?

Ashaw582 · « **Reply #2 on:** January 08, 2011, 09:06:46 PM »

I didn't think I could set the "noon" time until it was noon here, and it's 9:00pm here. But yes I installed the watch battery.

You have to set the noon time or the Pleo rb will not work. You can reset the noon time at any time. My noon time is 2:00pm so he is most active when my son is around. Just turn on Pleo and press the noon time button with a paper clip until you hear a beep. He should work then.

Okay I will try that, thank-you. I can't try it now because I took the battery out and it's now red and charging

Also, can the battery for the old Pleo be used in the Rb?

I am not sure...I never had the original Pleo. I would try it out real quick...

I mean try your Pleo rb battery real quick...

Ashaw582 · « **Reply #7 on:** January 08, 2011, 09:16:25 PM »

ok will do. i'll let you know what happens

Ashaw582 · « **Reply #8 on:** January 08, 2011, 09:26:34 PM »

Ok I put the battery in and pressed that noon time button, but it didn`t beep. but i`m sure i pressed it. I turned the pleo on and kept it on for five mins but it still did not stand up or walk, he kept bowed down and eyes half closed

Hello and welcome!

The old Pleo batteries are not the same strength as the new ones, and they will work to a degree but the Pleo RB will run better, and a lot longer, on the battery that came with it. I hope setting the noon has solved the problem!

EDIT:
Sorry - somehow managed to cross post! Have you fully charged the rb battery?

Is the Pleo rb beeping over and over? Make sure the watch battery has the two prongs on top of the battery when installed.

It sounds to me that he's just going through the hatching stage; this is perfectly normal. It took my pleo about two hours to stand up; I think most people agree that the hatching stage is too long, but with a little patience he will stand up.

ehschw76 · « **Reply #12 on:** January 08, 2011, 09:43:01 PM »

Is your Pleo moving around and responding to touch...if so...then Magnnus is right...it is just the hatching phase....I should have asked that first.

Ashaw582 · « **Reply #13 on:** January 08, 2011, 09:45:07 PM »

No the pleo is not beeping over and over. The watch battery did not beep when I set noon time either, is that okay
Sorry my question mark key isn`t working

I will fully charge the battery, hopefully that`s the issue. Also maybe it is just the hatching stage as was said, and he will stand up after another hour or so of being turned on.
thanks guys

I don't think the beep is important...as long as you press the noon time button when the green led is lite. As long as he is moving around and responding to touch, you should be fine.

Ashaw582 · « **Reply #15 on:** January 08, 2011, 09:53:37 PM »

yes he is moving around and responding to touch - so that`s positive.
thanks

ehschw76 · « **Reply #16 on:** January 08, 2011, 09:55:02 PM »

Awesome! Then he is fine...just takes a while for him to stand.

I got my rb free from Innvo labs because my old 2009 pleo was broken. I was just wondering if any of you who ordered an rb got to choose the color
mine came and it looks just like the old pleos

ehschw76 · « **Reply #18 on:** January 08, 2011, 10:01:27 PM »

Does the paint extend down further down the leg?

Ashaw582 · « **Reply #19 on:** January 08, 2011, 10:04:16 PM »

no the legs are just brown, and pleo is just green with blue eyes

ehschw76 · « **Reply #20 on:** January 08, 2011, 10:05:05 PM »

It sounds like an original Pleo....Did he come in a Pleo rb box?

Ashaw582 · « **Reply #21 on:** January 08, 2011, 10:06:37 PM »

yes came in a pleo rb box, with all of the rb accessories

ehschw76 · « **Reply #22 on:** January 08, 2011, 10:10:14 PM »

If you get a chance...please post a pic so we can take a look at your new Pleo rb. That might help clear up the confusion. thanks!!

Is there an SD card slot on the bottom of your new Pleo?

Ashaw582 · « **Reply #24 on:** January 08, 2011, 10:12:30 PM »

NO! no sd card slot, that i can see. where would that be
there is that spot on one foot for the watch battery though
