WIRELESS INTERCONNECT
Nest 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 - Battery (model numbers 05A-C
and A11) and Nest Protect - Wired 120 V (model
numbers 05C-C and A12) are compatible and
can be interconnected wirelessly. Nest Protect
wireless interconnect will not work with other
smoke or CO alarms from other brands.
Nest Protects can typically communicate
with each other if they’re 15meters (50 ft) 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 interference can be
overcome by adding more Nest Protects that
can route wireless signals around obstructions.
WARNING
• The range and proper operation of any
wireless device will vary depending on
its surroundings.
• Nest Protect alarms are not to be used
outdoors or to transmit between buildings.
The alarms will not communicate properly
in those conditions.
• Metal objects and metallic wallpaper
may interfere with signals from wireless
alarms. Test your Nest Protects with metal
doors opened and closed.
Note: Nest Protect can be used as a single
station or multiple station alarm.
