DAILY USE
POWER
Nest Protect (Wired 230 V) has a small green
light located at the top of the Nest button.
It will be on as long as Nest Protect is getting
AC power from the electrical wires.
If there’s a wiring problem or power cut, the
green light will turn off and Nest Protect will
switch to backup batteries. You’ll also see a
yellow (instead of green) Nightly Promise light
when you turn off the lights for the night.
NIGHTLY PROMISE
Nest Protect continuously tests itself, so you
don’t have to wonder if it’s working. Nightly
Promise reports on every Nest Protect in
your home.
When you turn off the lights for the night, Nest
Protect will glow green for a moment – this
means that everything is working. If it glows
yellow, one of the Nest Protects in your home
needs your attention. For instance, the batteries
are low, Wi-Fi is down or there’s a problem with
the sensors. Just push the Nest button or use
the Nest app to see what’s wrong.
PATHLIGHT
Nest Protect usually has its light turned off, but
it can light your way as you walk underneath it
in the dark. You can enable or disable Pathlight
and set its brightness with the Nest app.
Nest Protect (Wired 230 V) also allows you to
set Pathlight to “Always On” if you want a night
light. It will turn on when it’s dark and stay on
until it’s light again.
DAILY USE AND EMERGENCY PREPARATION
EMERGENCY PREPARATION
TESTING
We recommend running a weekly manual test.
During a test, all interconnected Nest Protects
in your home check their sensors, power,
Wi-Fi connection, emergency siren, speaker
and microphone.
When you run a test, Nest Protect will give you
a countdown before sounding the alarm so that
you have time to move away from the loud noise.
Test procedure:
1. Start a test by pressing the Nest button twice.
2. Nest Protect will say: “This is only a test. The
alarm will sound.”
3. Ensure that the alarm sounds and the light
illuminates on each Nest Protect.
4. Once the Nest Protect has made sure it’s
working, it’ll tell you that everything’s OK.
If you have interconnected Nest Protects,
all of them should speak.
