When you add a base to your Fi App, you'll be automatically prompted to set up the base location and the Safe Zone. See: What is a Safe Zone? When the Fi Charging Base is connected to your dog's collar, it will report the static location inputted for the Fi Base in the Fi App. This mode optimizes the Fi Collar's battery life and indicates when your dog is near a Fi Base.
Since the Fi Base does not have its own GPS chip to know its location, the location displayed when a Fi Charging Base is connected to a Fi Collar is static. For example, if your dog is in the front of the house but connected to a Fi Base, the only location displayed will be what is inputted to your Fi Charging Base, which could be the back of the house.
For this same reason, if you move a Fi Base from one location to another (from your home to your office), you will need to re-input its location. Otherwise, it will report whatever the previously inputted location was at the new location.
