Nest Protect Battery User's Guide

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.
PATHLIGHT
Usually Nest Protect has its light turned off,
butit will light your way as you walk underneath
it in the dark. You can enable or disable
Pathlight from the Nest Mobile app.
WIRELESS INTERCONNECT
After your Nest Protects have been wirelessly
connected, they’ll all speak up at once in an
emergency. 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 there’s
smoke in the basement. To silence the alert, go
to that room and press the button on the Nest
Protect there. That will hush every Nest Protect
in the house.
Nest Protects can typically communicate
with each other if they’re 50ft (15m) apart
inside a home. Some features of a home may
reduce their range, including the number of
floors, number/size of rooms, furniture, type
of building material, suspended ceilings,
ductwork, large metallic appliances and
metal studs. This kind of interference can be
overcome by adding more Nest Protects that
can route wireless signals around obstructions.
Nest Protect - Battery (model number 05A)
and Nest Protect - Wired 120V (model number
05C) are compatible and can be interconnected
wirelessly.
Nest Protect wireless interconnect will not
work with other products from other brands.
