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 the Nest app to hush the alarm.
Nest Protect - Battery (model numbers 05A and 06A)
and Nest Protect - Wired 120V (model numbers 05C
and 06C) 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 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.
