WARNING
Wireless communications
• Nest Guard and Nest Detects are engineered
to communicate with each other if they’re
within 50 ft of each other in a home.
• Some features of a home may reduce the
effective range, including the number of
floors, number and size of rooms, furniture,
large metallic appliances, construction
materials, and other features like suspended
ceilings, ductwork and metal studs.
• Nest Guard’s and Nest Detect’s specified
range is for comparative purposes only and
may be reduced when installed in a home.
• Wireless transmissions between buildings
will not work and the alarms will not
communicate properly.
• Metal objects and metallic wallpaper may
interfere with signals from wireless alarms.
Test your Nest products first with metal
doors opened and closed.
• Nest Guard and Nest Detect have been
specifically designed and tested to comply
with the standards for which they are
Listed. While Nest’s wireless network may
route signals through other Nest or other
Thread-compatible products* to optimize
network reliability, you need to ensure every
Nest Detect can communicate with Nest
Guard directly.
WARNING
This product contains (a) small magnet(s).
Swallowed magnets can cause choking.
They can also stick together across intestines
causing serious infections and death. Seek
immediate medical attention if magnet(s)
are swallowed or inhaled. Keep out of reach
of children.
To make sure Nest Detect can directly
communicate to Nest Guard, completely
power off your other Nest or other Thread-
compatible products before installing or
relocating Nest Detect. Nest Detect will flash
yellow 5 times during installation if it cannot
directly communicate to Nest Guard. Nest
Detect’s light ring will pulse green when it’s
connected to Nest Guard. To learn more
about powering off your Nest or other
Thread-compatible products, please see the
user guides included with your devices, or
support.nest.com, for more information.
