Your MoeBot will shut off automatically if picked up accidently. However, it is recommended that children and pets stay clear of the unit whilst in operation and the instructions be followed when turning the unit on and off.Your MoeBot can also have a pin set between the mowing unit and the charging station. This pairs the unit with the charging station making it in operable if used on any other charging station. If you are concerned about your unit being stolen, we also have GPS tracking units available
