6. Install your
Nest
Protect
Hold Nest Protect against the backplate and turn it clockwise. You'll feel the
tabs drop into place and grip the backplate. Continue turning until it's square
with the wall or ceiling. Install the rest of your Nest Protects if you have more.
Tip:
To remove your Nest Protect (for cleaning or battery replacement), turn it
counterclockwise until it disconnects from the backplate.
7. Press to test
Press the Nest button on one Nest Protect. It will tell you what to do next. Every
Nest Protect in the house should speak up, confirming that they're connected to
each other.
Important note:
If one of your Nest Protects doesn't speak up or sound its
alarm during the test, try moving it closer to your other Nest Protects and
testing again. It should be located within 15 meters of another Nest Protect, but
its range may be affected by your home's construction or interference from
other wireless electronics.
If it still doesn't speak up during the test, reset it to defaults and add it to your
Nest Account again.
