How To Factory Reset My PetSafe® GPS Cat Tracker and Charging Base
Important Information
- A factory reset will permanently delete product-related information. The pet’s profile and health data will remain untouched. However, the Tracker will need to be set up again to see this information.
- If the Tracker has not yet been connected to the app, but needs to be reset, use the instructions under Factory Reset Through the Charging Base and Tracker at the bottom of this article.
Factory Reset Through the App

- There is about a 5 second delay from the time the Charging Base is plugged in and the time the Charging Base light turns on.
- The Charging Base light will glow solid green when it is powered on.
