Nest Protect has two kinds of voice alerts: 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. If there’s both smoke and CO present, the smoke alarm will take priority.SILENCINGHeads-Up alerts and some Emergency Alarms can be hushed by using the Nest app or pressing the Nest button. In some cases, the smoke level may be too high for the Emergency Alarm to be hushed. Only silence an alarm once you have checked conditions at the Nest Protect that first sounded the alarm. Do not silence Nest Protect by disconnecting it from line voltage and removing the batteries. This will disable the alarm so it cannot sense smoke or carbon monoxide, leaving you at risk.Because there are many different types of fires, you may experience an Emergency Alarm without having first experienced a Heads-Up alert. This means that critical levels of smoke or CO occurred extremely quickly and Nest Protect has to sound the Emergency Alarm.HAVE MORE THAN ONE NEST PROTECT?After all the Nest Protects in your home are connected to each other, if there’s a Heads-Up or an Emergency Alarm in one room, they’ll all tell you what the danger is and which room it’s in.If multiple Nest Protects are interconnected, a Heads-Up alert or Emergency Alarm can be silenced only at the Nest Protect that originally sounded the alert. You’ll need to go to that room to hush all the Nest Protects in your home. Always check the conditions near the Nest Protect that first detected the smoke or carbon monoxide before silencing it.

Exposure at closerange may be harmful to your hearing. When testing, step away before the horn starts sounding.• If the alarm ever fails to test correctly, have it replaced immediately! If the alarm is not working properly, it cannot alert you to a problem.• DO NOT use a match, cigarette or any other makeshift fire to test the smoke alarm.• To test the CO alarm, NEVER use vehicle exhaust! Exhaust may cause permanentdamage and will void your warranty.• NEVER use an open flame of any kind to test this alarm. You might accidentally damage or set fire to the unit or to your home.1918DAILY USEPOWERNest Protect (Wired 120V) has a small green light located at the top of the Nest button. It will be on as long as Nest Protect is getting AC power from the electrical wires.If there’s a wiring problem or power outage, the green light will turn off and Nest Protect will switch to backup batteries. You’ll also see a yellow (instead of green) Nightly Promise light when you turn off the lights for the night.NIGHTLY PROMISENest Protect continuously tests itself, so you don’t have to wonder if it’s working. Nightly Promise reports on every Nest Protect in your home. 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.PATHLIGHTUsually Nest Protect has its light turned off, but it can light your way as you walk underneath it in the dark. You can enable or disable Pathlight and set its brightness with the Nest app. Nest Protect (Wired 120V) also allows you to set Pathlight to “Always On” if you want a night light. It will turn on when it’s dark and stay on until it’s light again.DAILY USE AND EMERGENCY PREPARATIONEMERGENCY PREPARATIONTESTINGPerform a manual test of your wired Nest Protect at least monthly. During a test, all interconnected Nest Protects in your home check their sensors, power, Wi-Fi connection, emergency horn, speaker and microphone.When you run a test, Nest Protect will give you a countdown before sounding the alarm so you have time to move away from the loud noise.Test procedure:1. Start a test by pressing the Nest button twice.2. Nest Protect will say: “This is only a test.The alarm will sound.”3. Ensure that the alarm sounds and the lightilluminates on each Nest Protect.4. Once the Nest Protect has made sure it’s working, it’ll tell you everything’s okay. If youhave interconnected Nest Protects, all of them should speak.

Send your Nest Protect to:Nest Labs(YOUR RETURN NUMBER)4 East Stow RoadMarlton, NJ 08053 USAGENERAL MAINTENANCECLEANING YOUR NEST PROTECTNest Protect has been designed to be as maintenance free as possible, but you should keep it clean. As with any smoke alarm, dust buildup on the outside or inside of Nest Protect can stop it from working properly.To clean Nest Protect:1. Turn off power to Nest Protect at thebreaker box (see p.9)2. Remove it from the wall or the ceiling (turncounterclockwise until it comes off the backplate and detach the power connector).3. Wipe the outside with a clean, slightlydamp cloth. Don’t use any soaps or solvents.4. Place Nest Protect on a soft, dry cloth withthe Nest button facing down. Open the battery compartment door and remove the batteries. Remove the screws and lift off the back. Be careful to not lose the screws.5. Gently vacuum the inside. Make sureto clean all the way around the mesh sides of the smoke chamber (the large metal circle). Note: Never use detergents or solvents (like glass cleaner) on your Nest Protect and do not spray air fresheners, hair spray or other aerosols near it. Do not get water inside the alarm or paint over it.REPLACING THE BACKUP BATTERIESIn case of a power outage, Nest Protect will use three AA Energizer® Ultimate Lithium batteries (L91) for backup. These batteries can be purchased at your local retailer.1. Turn off power to Nest Protect at thebreaker box (see p.9) WARNING• Use only batteries specified by Nest.Use of a different battery model will have a detrimental effect on the smoke alarm operation. • Never disconnect a wired alarm to stop an unwanted alarm (caused by cooking smoke, etc.) Removing power disables the alarm so it cannot sense smoke or carbon monoxide (CO). Instead open a window or fan the smoke away from the unit.• The batteries cannot work until you installthe batteries in the correct position (Match + to + and - to -).• Once Nest Protect has expired you’ll nolonger be protected from smoke or CO if you don’t replace it.GENERAL MAINTENANCEYELLOW pulses.

2322interference can be overcome by adding more Nest Protects that can route wireless signals around obstructions. WIRELESS INTERCONNECTNest Protects connect wirelessly to each other so that when one speaks, they all speak. 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 basement, the Nest Protect in the bedroom will tell you where the smoke or CO is. To silence the alert, go to the room where the alarm was triggered. All of the Nest Protects in the house can be hushed from there. Either press the button on the Nest Protect or use use the Nest app to hush the alarm.Nest Protect - Wired 120V (model numbers 05C and 06C) and Nest Protect - Battery (model numbers 05A and 06A) and are compatible and can be interconnected wirelessly. Nest Protect wireless interconnect will not work with other smoke or CO alarms from other brands.Nest Protect’s 120V connector does not have a red/orange/yellow wire for interconnect because it connects wirelessly. There’s no need to connect any Nest Protect wire to the red/orange/yellow interconnect wire coming from the ceiling or wall.Nest Protects can typically communicate with each other if they’re 50 feet (15 m) or less apart inside a home. Some features of a home may reduce Nest Protect’s wireless interconnect range, including the number of floors, number and size of rooms, furniture, type of building materials, suspended ceilings, ductwork, large metal appliances and metal studs. This kind of GENERAL MAINTENANCEEXPIRATIONLike 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.About two weeks before it expires, Nest Protect will light up with a yellow light. Press the Nest button and it will say, “Nest Protect has expired. Replace it now.” Buy a new alarm and recycle the expired one. Make sure you test your new Nest Protect once it’s installed.RECYCLING AND DISPOSAL Once Nest Protect has expired you will need to recycle it according to local regulations. Please visit nest.com/recycle for more information.RESETTING NEST PROTECTYou 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. Follow the steps below on each Nest Protect you want to reset. 1. Press and hold the Nest button. Nest willchime and glow blue.2. Keep holding the button until Nest Protectbegins to say its version number. Thenrelease the button.3. Nest Protect will start a verbal countdownand tell you it’s erasing all settings.

2524ALARM LIMITATIONSLIMITATIONS OF SMOKE ALARMSAlarms reduce deaths resulting from home fires worldwide. 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.If they are powered by batteries, the smoke alarms cannot work if the batteries are missing, dead or disconnected. If they are wired, the smoke alarms cannot work during a long power outage and once the backup battery is dead. Nest Protect will warn you in advance when batteries are running low so that you can replace them.• Smoke will not be able to reach smoke sensorwhile the dust cover is in place. The dust cover must be removed.• Smoke alarms cannot detect fires if the smokedoes not reach the alarms. For example, if a door is closed, smoke may not reach the smoke alarm. This is why you should have a smoke alarm in each bedroom and in the hallways as bedroom doors may be closed at night.• Smoke alarms may not be heard. Althoughthe smoke alarm comes with a loud horn of 85 decibels, it may not be heard if : 1) people have consumed alcohol or drugs, 2) the alarm is drowned by noise from stereo, TV, traffic, air conditioner or other appliances, 3) residents are hearing impaired or have highfrequency hearing loss associated with aging. Special smoke alarms should be installed for those who are hearing impaired.SAFETY• This smoke alarm is not intended to alert hearing impaired residents. Alarms specifically designed for the hearing impaired, which feature devices like flashing strobe lights or low frequency devices are available toalert the hearing impaired in case of fire.• This smoke alarm alone is not a suitablesubstitute for complete fire detection systems in places housing many people—like apartment buildings, condominiums, hotels, motels, dormitories, hospitals, long-term health care facilities, nursing homes, day care facilities, or group homes of any kind—even if they were once single-family homes. It is not a suitable substitute for complete fire detection systems in warehouses, industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and special-purpose non-residential buildings which require special fire detection and alarm systems. Depending on the building codes in your area, this smokealarm may be used to provide additional protection in these facilities.LIMITATIONS OF CARBON MONOXIDE CO ALARMS• NEVER ignore your carbon monoxide alarm if italarms. Refer to “What to do in case of a carbon monoxide alarm” for more information. Failure to do so can result in injury or death.• This CO alarm is designed for use inside asingle-family home or apartment. It is not meant to be used in common lobbies, hallways, or basements of multi-family buildings unless working CO alarms are also installed in each family living unit. CO alarms in common areas may not be heard from inside individual family living units.• This CO alarm alone is not a suitable substitutefor complete detection systems in places which house many people, like hotels or dormitories, unless a CO alarm is also placed in each unit.• DO NOT use this CO alarm in warehouses,industrial or commercial buildings, special purpose non-residential buildings, or airplanes. This CO alarm is specifically designed for residential use, and may not provide adequate protection in non-residential applications.• Some individuals are more sensitive to COthan others, including people with cardiac or respiratory problems, infants, unborn babies, pregnant mothers, or elderly people can be more quickly and severely affected by CO. Members of sensitive populations should consult their doctors for advice on taking additional precautions.• The silence feature is for your convenienceonly and will not correct a CO problem. Always check your home for a potential problem after any alarm. Failure to do so can result in injury or death.

(National Fire Alarm & Signaling Code® and NFPA 72® are registered trademarks of the National Fire Protection Association, Inc., Quincy, MA 02269.)SMOKE DETECTIONAre more smoke alarms desirable?The required number of smoke alarms might not provide reliable early warning protection for those areas separated by a door from the areas protected by the required smoke alarms. For this reason, the use of additional smoke alarms for those areas for increased protection is recommended. The additional areas include the dining room, and hallways not protected by the required smoke alarms. The installation of smoke alarms in kitchens, attics (finished or unfinished), or garages is not normally recommended, because these locations occasionally experience conditions that can result in improper operation. As Nest Protect is also a Carbon Monoxide alarm, it is not recommended to install it in a furnace room or a utility room if it contains a water heater or a furnace. It should be 15-20 feet from these appliances to avoid transient conditions and/or perceived nuisance alarms.INSTALLATION CODETHIS EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE INSTALLED INACCORDANCE WITH THE NATIONAL FIREPROTECTION ASSOCIATION’S STANDARD 72(National Fire Protection Association,Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269).Note: Specific requirements for Smoke Alarm installation vary between countries, states, and regions. Check with your local safety agency or Fire Department for current requirements in your area. WARNINGThis product is intended for use in ordinary indoor locations of family living units. It is not designed to measure compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) commercial or industrial standards.WHERE TO INSTALL YOUR SMOKE ALARMSFor your information, the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code, NFPA 72, reads as follows:“29.5.1 *Required Detection.”“ *Where required by applicable laws, codes, or standards for a specific type of occupancy, approved single- and multiple-station smoke alarms shall be installed as follows:(1) *In all sleeping rooms and guest rooms(2) *Outside of each separate dwelling unit sleeping area, within 21 ft (6.4 m) of any door to a sleeping room, the distance measured along a path of travel(3) On every level of a dwelling unit, including basements(4) On every level of a residential board and care WHERE NOT TO INSTALL YOUR SMOKE ALARMS For best performance, AVOID installing a smoke alarm in these areas:• Where combustion particles are produced.Burning material creates combustion particleswhich could cause your smoke alarm to go off unnecessarily. Areas to avoid include poorly ventilated kitchens, garages, boats, recreational vehicles, and furnace rooms. Keep a smoke alarm at least 20 feet (6 m) from from the source of combustion particles (stove, furnace, water heater, space heater) if possible. In areas where a 20-foot (6 m) distance is not possible – in mobile, or smaller homes, for example – it is recommended a smoke alarm to be placed as far from these fuel-burning sources as possible. The placement recommendations are intended to keep a smoke detector at a reasonable distance from a fuel-burning source, reducing “unwanted” alarms. Unwanted alarms can occur if a smoke alarm is placed directly next to a fuel-burning source. Ventilate these areas as much as possible.• In air streams near kitchens. Air currents candraw cooking smoke into the sensor of a smokealarm near the kitchen.• In very damp, humid or steamy areas, or directly near bathrooms with showers. Keepa smoke alarm at least 10 feet (3 m) away fromshowers, saunas, dishwashers, etc.• Where temperatures are regularly below 40˚F (4˚C) or above 100˚ F (38˚C) includingunheated buildings, outdoor rooms, porches,or unfinished attics or basements.• In very dusty, dirty, or greasy areas. Do notinstall a smoke alarm directly over the stoveor range. Clean a laundry room unit frequently to keep it free of dust or lint.• Near fresh air vents, ceiling fans, or in very drafty areas. Drafts can blow smoke away froma smoke alarm, preventing it from reaching the sensor.• In insect infested areas. Insects can clog openingsto the sensor and cause unwanted alarms.• Less than 12 inches (30.5 cm) away from fluorescent lights. Electrical “noise” caninterfere with the sensor.• In “dead air” spaces. “Dead air” spaces mayprevent smoke from reaching a smoke alarm.WHERE NOT TO INSTALL YOUR CO ALARMS• Keep carbon monoxide alarm at least 10 ft (3 m)away from any cooking appliance including stovetop, oven, microwave, etc.• This alarm should not be installed in locationswhere the normal ambient temperature is below 40°F (4.4°C) or exceeds 100°F (37.8°C).EXAMPLES OF WHEN YOUR SMOKE ALARM MAY NOT BE EFFECTIVEYour alarm may not be effective in protecting against fire in certain cases:• Smoking in bed• Leaving children unsupervised• Cleaning with flammable liquids, like gasoline.• When someone’s clothes have caught on fire• Fires where the smoke is prevented from reaching the alarm due to a closed door orother obstruction• Incendiary fires where the fire grows so rapidly that an occupant can’t get out, evenwith alarms in proper locations
2928CARBON MONOXIDE CO PRECAUTIONSWHAT 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. If they are not properly maintained, are improperly ventilated or malfunction, CO levels can rise quickly. CO is a real danger now that homes are more energy efficient. “Air-tight” homes with added insulation, sealed windows, and other weatherproofing can “trap” CO inside. Electrical appliances typically do not produce CO. The Nest Protect CO sensor meets the alarm response time requirements of the American National Standard ANSI/UL 2034. Standard alarm times are as follows:• At 70ppm, the unit must alarm within60-240 minutes.• At 150ppm, the unit must alarm within10-50 minutes.• At 40ppm, the unit must alarm within4 to 15 minutes. WARNINGThis carbon monoxide alarm is designed to detect carbon monoxide from any source of combustion. It is NOT designed to detect any other gas.• The alarm cannot be operated from power derived from a square wave, modified square wave or modified sine wave, inverter. These types of inverters are sometimes used to supply power to the structure in off grid installations, such as solar or wind derived power sources. These power sources produce high peak voltages that will damage the alarm• Never disconnect the power from anAC powered unit to stop an unwanted alarm. Doing so will disable the unit and remove your protection. In the case of a true unwanted alarm open a window or fan the smoke away from the unit. The alarm will reset automatically when itreturns to normal operation.• Improper wiring of the power connector orthe wiring leading to the power connector will cause damage to the alarm and may leadto a non-functioning alarm. You must test to ensure proper installation.AC INSTALLATION WARNINGSELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD• Turn off power to the area where you willinstall this unit at the circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning installation. Failure to turn off the power before installation may result in serious electrical shock, injury or death.• Do not restore power until all alarms arecompletely installed. Restoring power before installation is complete may result in serious electrical shock, injury or death.• Turn off the power to the area where thealarm is installed before removing it from the mounting bracket. Failure to turn off the power first may result in serious electrical shock, injury or death.• If any unit in the series does not alarm,TURN OFF POWER and recheck connections. If it does not alarm when you restore power, replace it immediately. • Attempting to disconnect the power connectorfrom the unit when the power is on may result in electrical shock, serious injury or death.• Failure to meet any of the above requirementscould damage the units and cause them to malfunction, removing your protection.• Improper wiring of the power connector orthe wiring leading to the power connector will cause damage to the alarm and may lead to a non-functioning alarm.• This unit must be powered by a 24-hour,120V AC pure sine wave, 60Hz 0.1A circuit. Be sure the circuit cannot be turned off by a switch, dimmer, or ground fault circuit interrupter. Failure to connect this unit to a 24-hour circuit may prevent it from providing constant protection. CAUTIONThe alarm only indicates the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor.Carbon monoxide gas may be present inother areas.Individuals with certain medical problems should consider using detection devices with lower COHb alarming capabilities and consider warning devices which provide audible and visual signals for carbon monoxide concentrations under 30ppm.SYMPTOMS OF CO POISONINGThe following symptoms are related to CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING and are to be discussed with ALL members of the household:• Mild Exposure: Slight headache, nausea,vomiting, fatigue (often described as ‘Flu-like’ symptoms).• Medium Exposure: Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate.• Extreme Exposure: Unconsciousness,convulsions, cardiorespiratory failure, death.• Many cases of reported CARBON MONOXIDEPOISONING indicate that while victims are aware they are not well, they become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by either exiting the building or calling for assistance. Young children and household pets are typically the first affected.
3130more information about CO safety and this equipment. Make sure that motor vehicles are not, and have not been, operating in an attached garage or adjacent to the residence.This information is available as a label provided in the box. Stick it in a spot where everyone can see it, like the refrigerator.THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS CAN RESULT IN TRANSIENT CO SITUATIONS1. Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuelburning appliances caused by:I) Outdoor ambient conditions such as winddirection and/or velocity, including high gusts of wind; heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods between cycles).II) Negative pressure differential resultingfrom the use of exhaust fans. III) Simultaneous operation of several fuelburning appliances competing for limited internal air.IV) Vent pipe connection vibrating loose fromclothes dryers, furnaces, or water heaters.V) Obstructions in or unconventional vent pipedesigns which amplify the above situations.2. Extended operation of unvented fuel burningdevices (range, oven, fireplace, etc.).3. Temperature inversions which can trapexhaust gases near the ground.4. Car idling in an open or closed attachedgarage, or near a home.5. NEVER bring a charcoal grill inside andALWAYS operate a portable generator outside, a safe distance from the house, and well away from windows.WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF A CARBON MONOXIDEALARM WARNINGActuation of your CO alarm indicates the presence of carbon monoxide (CO) which can KILL YOU.If alarm signal sounds:1) Operate reset/silence button (PressNest button);2) Call your emergency services [fire dept. or 911];PHONE NUMBER:3) Immediately move to fresh air – outdoors or by an open door/window. Do a head count to check that all persons are accounted for. Donot reenter the premises nor move away from the open door/window until the emergency services responders have arrived, the premises have been aired out, and your alarmremains in its normal condition.4) After following steps 1 – 3, if your alarmreactivates within a 24-hour period, repeat steps1 – 3 and call a qualified appliance technicianPHONE NUMBER:to investigate for sources of CO from fuel burning equipment and appliances, and inspect for proper operation of this equipment. If problems are identified during this inspection have the equipment serviced immediately. Note any combustion equipment not inspected by the technician and consult the manufacturers’ instructions, or contact the manufacturers directly, for FIRE SAFETY PRECAUTIONSCREATE AN ESCAPE PLAN TO PRACTICEBe 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 soundof your smoke/ CO alarm and explain what the sound means.• Determine TWO exits from each room andhave an escape route to the outside from each exit.• Teach all the members in your household tocheck doors for heat with the back of your hand before opening them, and to use the alternate exit if the door is hot. Make sure they do not open the door if it is hot.• Teach household members to crawl alongthe floor to avoid dangerous smoke, fumes and gases.• Determine a safe meeting place for allhousehold members to regroup at outside the building.PRACTICE FIRE SAFETYPractice your escape plan at least twice a year, making sure that everyone is involved – from kids to grandparents. Practice the escape plan with children, including holding one at night when they are sleeping. If children or others do not wake up to the sound of the smoke alarm, or if there are infants or family members with mobility limitations, make sure that someone is assigned to help them for the fire drill and in the event of an emergency. Current studies have shown smoke alarms may not awaken all sleeping individuals, and that it is the responsibility of individuals in the household that are capable of assisting others to provide assistance to those who may not be awakened by the alarm sound, or to those who may be incapable of safely evacuating the area unassisted.WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF FIRE• Get out now.• Don’t panic; stay calm.• Operate your safety plan as previouslyplanned.• Alert small children in the home and thosewho may need extra assistance.• Leave the building as quickly as possible.Touch doors with the back of your hand andmake sure they are not hot before opening them. Use an alternate exit, if necessary. In case of smoke, crawl along the floor, and DO NOT stop to collect anything. Close the doors behind you.• Meet at a pre-arranged meeting place outsidethe building.• Once outside, do a head count, and call thefire department.• DO NOT reenter the house, unless a fireofficial says it’s safe to reenter.
