GENERAL MAINTENANCE
CLEANING YOUR NEST PROTECT
Like any photoelectric smoke alarm, Nest
Protect can get dusty. Do not clean it with
detergents or solvents (like Windex®) and do
not spray air fresheners, hair spray or other
aerosols near it. To dust Nest Protect:
• Remove it from the wall or the ceiling.
• Unscrew the battery door.
• Pass a can of compressed air back and forth
across the entire backplate and alarm.
• Blow compressed air around the black circle
that says Nest. This is the smoke chamber.
Do not get water inside the alarm or paint over it.
RESETTING NEST PROTECT
You can reset Nest Protect to erase all your
settings and reset the wireless interconnection
between Nest Protects. You may want to do this
before you move to a new house.
You’ll need to press and hold the Nest button
on Nest Protect to erase its settings. Follow the
steps below for each Nest Protect you want to
reset. You can’t erase the settings on your Nest
Protect from the Nest app.
• Press and hold the Nest button. Nest will chime
and glow blue.
• Keep holding the button until Nest Protect says
its version number. Then release the button.
• Nest Protect will start a verbal countdown and
tell you it’s erasing all settings. You can cancel by
pressing the Nest button during the countdown.
• After a few seconds it will restart.
Your Nest Protect will still detect smoke and
carbon monoxide after being reset. You can see
complete instructions at nest.com/protect/reset
BATTERY
6 AA Energizer
®
Ultimate Lithium batteries (L91).
These batteries can be purchased at your
localretailer.
Nest Protect will let you know its batteries are
getting low before they need to be replaced.
Instead of lighting up green during Nightly
Promise, it’ll glow yellow. Once you press the
Nest button, Nest Protect will say, “The battery
islow. Replace it soon.”
WARNING
Use only batteries specified by Nest.
Useof a different battery model will have
a detrimental effect on the smoke alarm
operation. The alarm may not operate
properly with other batteries. Never use
rechargeable batteries since they may
not provide a constant charge.
Never remove the batteries from a
battery-operated alarm to stop an
unwanted alarm (caused by cooking
smoke, etc.). Removing batteries
disables the alarm so it cannot sense
smoke, and removes your protection.
Instead open a window or fan the smoke
away from the unit.
The alarm will not operate without
battery power. The alarm cannot work
until you install the batteries in the
correct position (Match “+” to “+” and
“-” to “-”).
