1. Wake it up
Remove the dust cover and pull out the
battery tab to wake up your Nest Protect.
2. Press the Nest button
Nest Protect will glow blue when it’s awake.
5. Remove your old smoke alarm
Just pull it off the wall or ceiling. If it had a
backplate, unscrew it.
6. Install backplate
Screw the backplate to the wall or ceiling
using the included screws. You can use
two or four screws in any open slot on the
backplate. Make sure the backplate is
squared-up with the wall.
Refer to the diagrams on pages 6 and 7 for
proper placement of your Nest Protect.
7. Mount and test your Nest Protect
First, line up Nest Protect with the
backplate. Second, give it a slight twist
clockwise. It’ll CLICK into place.
Press the Nest button. Your Nest Protect
will run a test and tell you when it’s done.

3. Get the Nest Mobile app
You’ll use the Nest Mobile app to get Nest
Protect connected to your Wi-Fi, to the
Internet, and to additional Nest Protects in
your home.
4. Set up Nest Protect
The video at nest.com/protect-setup
shows how.
The app will guide you through making
a free Nest account, pairing your Nest
Protect securely, and telling Nest Protect
which room it’s in.
8. Have more smoke alarms?
Repeat steps 1-7 to install more Nest Protects.
The Nest app will help you connect them to
Wi-Fi and add them to your Nest Account.
Test that all your Nest Protects are
wirelessly connected by pushing the Nest
button twice on one Nest Protect. If they’re
connected, every Nest Protect in the house
will speak up. Walk to each one to make
sure you hear them talking.
