GENERAL MAINTENANCE
CLEANING YOUR NEST PROTECT
Like any photoelectric smoke alarm, Nest
Protect can get dusty. Do not clean it with
detergents or solvents (like Windex®) and do
not spray air fresheners, hair spray or other
aerosols near it. To dust Nest Protect:

that says Nest. This is the smoke chamber.
Do not get water inside the alarm or paint over it.
RESETTING NEST PROTECT
You can reset Nest Protect to erase all your
settings and reset the wireless interconnection
between Nest Protects. You may want to do this
before you move to a new house.
You’ll need to press and hold the Nest button
on Nest Protect to erase its settings. Follow the
steps below for each Nest Protect you want to

test this alarm. You might accidentally
damage or set fire to the unit or to your
home. The built-in self test accurately
tests the unit’s operation as required by
Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL).
TESTING NEST PROTECT
SELF-MONITORING
Nest Protect continuously tests itself, so you
don’t have to wonder if it’s working.
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, this means Nest Protect has detected
something wrong that needs your attention.
Just wave at it or push the Nest button to hear its
warning: either the batteries are low, Wi-Fi has
been down or there is an issue with its sensors.
TEST NEST PROTECT MANUALLY
Regulations require a weekly manual test.
After installation, test Nest Protect by pressing
the Nest button twice. Before sounding the
alarm, Nest Protect will give you a countdown so
that you have time to move away from the alarm.
WARNING
DO NOT stand close to the alarm when
the horn is sounding. Exposure at close
range may be harmful to your hearing.
When testing, step away when horn
starts sounding.
BATTERY
6 AA Energizer® Ultimate Lithium batteries (L91)
These batteries can be purchased at your
local retailer.
Nest Protect will let you know its batteries are
getting low before they need to be replaced.
Instead of lighting up green during Nightly
Promise, it’ll glow yellow. Once you wave at
_j"D[ijFhej[Yjm_bbiWo"ÆJ^[XWjj[ho_ibem$
Replace it soon.”
WARNING
Use only batteries specified by Nest.
Use of a different battery model will have
a detrimental effect on the smoke alarm
operation. The alarm may not operate
properly with other batteries. Never use
rechargeable batteries since they may
not provide a constant charge.
Never remove the batteries from a
battery- operated alarm to stop an
unwanted alarm (caused by cooking
smoke, etc.). Removing batteries
disables the alarm so it cannot sense
smoke, and removes your protection.
Instead open a window or fan the smoke
away from the unit.
The alarm will not operate without
battery power. The alarm cannot work
until you install the batteries in the
