MEET YOUR NEST PROTECT Nest Protect is designed to detect smoke and carbon monoxide in a residential environment. It has multiple sensors to help it understand what’s happening in your home, including a Split-Spectrum Sensor to detect a wide range of slow-smoldering and fast-flaming fires. This guide covers the installation of Nest Protect (Battery) - Model number 06A.
SETUP AND INSTALLATION 1. Get the Nest app 2. Set up Nest Protect 3. Have more Nest Protects? 4. Test before you install Before you install your Nest Protect on the ceiling or wall, you’ll need to set it up with the Nest app. Download the app from the Apple App Store™ or Google Play™ and create a free Nest Account. You can use a phone or tablet for setup.
Location in your home The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends installing a smoke alarm in the following areas: Nest Protect should be installed at least 10 feet (3 m) away from cooktops or cooking appliances. • On every floor, including finished attics and basements. • Inside and outside every sleeping area. • At the top of the first-to-second floor stairway and on the basement ceiling near the entry of the stairs.
Placement on the ceiling or wall Placement on a sloped ceiling 7. Install your Nest Protect 8. Press to test Installing on the ceiling is recommended. Mark where the screws will go using the base as a guide. Make sure it’s at least 4 inches (10 cm) away from the wall. If you have a sloped, peaked or cathedral ceiling, Nest Protect should be 4 inches to 3 feet (10 cm – 1 m) from the highest point. Line up the three tabs on the back of your Nest Protect with the notches on the backplate.
HEADS-UP AND EMERGENCY ALARMS When smoke or carbon monoxide levels are heightened but haven’t yet reached Emergency Alarm levels, Nest Protect can sound a Heads-Up as an early warning. Nest Protect will pulse yellow and tell you where there’s smoke or carbon monoxide. You’ll get an Emergency Alarm when smoke or carbon monoxide reach critical levels. Nest Protect will pulse red, sound a loud alarm, and tell you what room the emergency is in.
When you turn out the lights for the night, Nest Protect will glow green for a moment that means everything is working. If it glows yellow, one of the Nest Protects in your home needs your attention. For instance, the batteries are low, Wi-Fi is down, or there’s an issue with the sensors. Just push the Nest button or use the Nest app to see what’s wrong. PATHLIGHT Usually Nest Protect has its light turned off, but it can light your way as you walk underneath it in the dark.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE REPLACING THE BATTERIES Nest Protect uses six AA Energizer® Ultimate Lithium batteries (L91). These batteries can be purchased at your local retailer. 1. Twist Nest Protect counterclockwise until it disconnects from the backplate. 16 WHAT YOU HEAR 2. Open the battery door on the back of Nest Protect. 3. Replace the batteries. 4 1 Align the + positive and 5 2 - negative ends with the 6 3 markings in the battery compartment. 4. Close the battery compartment.
WIRELESS INTERCONNECT GENERAL MAINTENANCE EXPIRATION Like any smoke and CO alarm, Nest Protect has a limited life. You will need to replace Nest Protect after 10 years with a brand new Nest Protect. You can check the date of replacement written on the back of Nest Protect to see when it will expire. RESETTING NEST PROTECT You can reset Nest Protect to erase all your settings and reset the wireless interconnection with other Nest Protects. You may want to do this when you move to a new home.

However smoke alarms can only work if they are properly located, installed and maintained, and if smoke reaches the alarms. • Smoke alarms may not waken all individuals. Make sure you create an escape plan and you practice fire drills with all members of the family. • Smoke alarms cannot work without power.

CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) PRECAUTIONS WHAT IS CARBON MONOXIDE? Carbon Monoxide (CO) is an invisible, odorless, tasteless gas produced when fuels do not burn completely, or are exposed to heat (usually fire). These fuels include: wood, coal, charcoal, oil, natural gas, gasoline, kerosene, and propane. Common appliances are often sources of CO such as oil or gas burning furnaces, gas ovens, wood-burning fireplaces, and charcoal grills.
FIRE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS CREATE AN ESCAPE PLAN TO PRACTICE Be prepared when your smoke/CO alarm sounds its alarm. Develop a family escape plan, discuss it with all household members, and practice it regularly. • Make sure everyone is familiar with the sound of your smoke/CO alarm and explain what the sound means. • Determine TWO exits from each room and have an escape route to the outside from each exit.
