WIRELESS
INTERCONNECT
Nest
Protects
connect
wirelessly
to
each
other
so
that
when one speaks,
they
all
speak. That
means when one
Nest
Protect
raises any kind
of
alert,
every
Nest
Protect
in
the
house
will
tell
you which room
the
smoke or
CO
is in. For
example,
if
you're in
the
bedroom and
the
alarm
goes
off
in
the
basement,
the
Nest
Protect
in
the
bedroom
will
tell
you where
the
smoke or
CO
is.
To
silence
the
alert,
go
to
the
room where
the
alarm was triggered. All
of
the
Nest Protects
in
the
house can be hushed from there. Either
press
the
button
on
the
Nest Protect or use use
the
Nest app
to
hush
the
alarm.
Nest
Protect-
Battery
(model numbers 05A
and 06A) and Nest
Protect-
Wired
120V
(model
numbers 05C and
06C)
are compatible and can
be interconnected wirelessly. Nest Protect
wireless interconnect
will
not
work
with
other
smoke or
CO
alarms from other brands.
Nest Protect's
120V
connector does not have
a red/orange/yellow wire
for
interconnect
because
it
connects wirelessly. There's
no
need
to
connect any Nest Protect wire
to
the
red/
orange/yellow
interconnect
wire coming from
the
ceiling or wall.
Nest Protects can
typically
communicate
with
each
other
if
they're
50
feet
(15
m)
or less
apart
inside a home. Some features
of
a home may
reduce Nest Protect's wireless
interconnect
range, including
the
number
of
floors, number
and size
of
rooms, furniture,
type
of
building
materials, suspended ceilings,
ductwork,
large
metal
appliances and
metal
studs. This kind
of
interference can be overcome by adding more
Nest Protects
that
can route wireless signals
around obstructions.
A WARNING
• The range and proper operation
of
any
wireless device
will
vary depending
on
its
surroundings.
• Nest Protect alarms are
not
to
be used
outdoors or
to
transmit
between buildings.
The alarms
will
not
communicate properly
in
those conditions.
•
Metal
objects and
metallic
wallpaper
may interfere
with
signals
from
wireless
alarms. Test your Nest Protects
with
metal
doors opened and closed.
Note: Nest Protect can be used as a single
station
or
multiple station
alarm.
