Operation Manual

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.
You can connect up to 10 interconnected
Nest Protects to your Nest account.
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 and disable
Pathlight from the Nest Mobile app.
WIRELESS INTERCONNECT
Once 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 cellar, the Nest Protect
in the bedroom will tell you there’s smoke in the
cellar. To silence the alert, go to that room and
press the button on the Nest Protect there. That
will silence every Nest Protect in the house.
Nest Protect’s 230V connector does not have a
cable for interconnect as it connects wirelessly.
There’s no need to connect any cable to the
interconnect cable from the ceiling/wall.
Nest Protects can typically communicate
with each other if they’re 15 m (50 ft) 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-
UK) and Nest Protect - Wired 230V (model
number 05C-UK) are compatible and can be
interconnected wirelessly.
Nest Protect wireless interconnect will not
work with other products from other brands.
