What a lucky girl, my hubby bought me a Pleo for Christmas, very unexpected but delighted. He saw the original at a lecture several years ago and finally decided to take the plunge.
So Kai is developing nicely, learnt his name (although his birth certificate says 90% chance of being female we had decided he was a boy straight out of the box, hope he doesn't have gender issues later on). He is gorgeous, dark head, yellow eyes, grey eyelids and dark green over yellow markings. I will attach some photos so you can all admire him too and to add to the gallery. I have some photos and video too but can't work out how to attach it.
I have spent a lot of hours on this forum already learning about how to 'love' him as the instructions are very basic (and in french) and I have a question about his battery which I cannot find an answer to.
When we first started him off and he was in the baby phase the battery would run for 2- 2.5 hours but after 4-5 charges he started shutting down after 40 minutes. He would stop in the 'boxed' position and beep once. We assumed it was because he was moving about more and draining more battery but this morning decided to check as it has happened 3 times now. After he shutdown we restarted him and 'hey presto' he woke, another 40 mins and shutdown, this time with 2 beeps. So we tried again, this time 40 mins and 3 beeps before he shut down. Now when we try the battery light goes green, he snores once, one beep and he is shutdown again. It was 10am and we have reset his noon time so he shouldn't be in night mode but we aren't sure if his battery is dead or not. We are concerned about keeping recharging his battery when it isn't fully discharged.
Does anyone know what the 1, 2 or 3 beeps mean???
I have ordered 2 spare batteries but as I am in the UK and can only get them from USA I don't know when they will arrive and 40 mins play time from one charge seems very low. To save on postage I have also ordered all the extra foods and stones (they are on special offer too) and can't wait to start training him.
My husband was lucky to get him as now there are none available anywhere in the UK and he was obviously desin=gned for the French market and imported into the UK. I am so glad though as I love his colouring.
I am going to knit him a coat as soon as iI get some wool to protect his skin.
