may interfere with signals from wireless
alarms. Test your Nest Protects with
metal doors opened and closed.
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 or disable
Pathlight from the Nest Mobile app.
HEADS-UP AND EMERGENCY ALARMS
ALERTS
Nest Protect has two kinds of voice alerts:
Heads-Up and Emergency Alarms. A Heads-Up
is friendly warning before conditions get
dangerous. Nest Protect pulses yellow and
tells you where smoke or carbon monoxide is.
An Emergency Alarm occurs when smoke or
carbon monoxide reach dangerous levels.
Nest Protect pulses red, makes a loud alarm
sound and tells you what room the emergency
is in. The smoke alarm takes precedence when
carbon monoxide is also present.
NEST WAVE™
You can silence Heads-Up and most Emergency
Alarms by pushing the Nest button or by standing
under Nest Protect and waving your arm.
To use Nest Wave, move close to Nest Protect.
When it sees you, its light ring will glow a solid
color. Stay in that spot and wave your whole arm
until the alarm is hushed. Your hand should be
2 ft - 8 ft (60 cm to 2 m) away from Nest Protect.
Dense smoke will override Nest Wave and sound
a continuous alarm.
WIRELESS INTERCONNECT
After 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 basement, the
Nest Protect in the bedroom will tell you there’s
smoke in the basement. To silence the alert, go
to that room and wave at the Nest Protect there.
That will hush every Nest Protect in the house.
Nest Protects can typically communicate
with each other if they’re 50ft (15m) apart
inside a home. Some features of a home may
reduce their range, including the number of
Óeehi"dkcX[h%i_p[e\heeci"\khd_jkh["jof[
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)
and Nest Protect - Wired 120V (model number
05C) are compatible and can be interconnected
wirelessly.
Nest Protect wireless interconnect will not
work with other products from other brands.
WARNING
Before waving at Nest Protect to silence it,
identify the source of the danger and make
sure you’re safe.

levels of smoke or CO occurred extremely
quickly and Nest Protect must sound the

connected to each other, whenever there’s a
Heads-Up or an Emergency Alarm in one room,
they will all tell you what and where the danger
is. So go to that room and wave at the Nest
Protect there to hush every Nest Protect in the
home. This will ensure that you will identify the
source of the danger in that room.
