HEADS-UP

AND EMERGENCY

ALARMS

ALERTS

When Nest Protect has something

to

say,

it

will

speak

to

you

in

words and

light

up instead

of

just

beeping. Nest

Protect

has

two

kinds

of

voice alerts: Heads-Up and Emergency Alarms.

When smoke or carbon monoxide levels are

heightened

but

haven't yet reached Emergency

Alarm levels, Nest Protect can sound a Heads-Up

as an early warning. Nest Protect

will

pulse

yellow and

tell

you where there's smoke or

carbon monoxide.

You'll get

an

Emergency Alarm when smoke or

carbon monoxide reach

critical

levels.

Nest

Protect

will

pulse red, sound a loud alarm, and

tell

you what room the emergency is in.

If

there's

both smoke and

CO

present,

the

smoke alarm

will

take

priority.

SILENCING

Heads-Up

alerts

and some Emergency Alarms

can be hushed by using

the

Nest app or

pressing

the

Nest

button.

In

some cases,

the

smoke level may be

too

high

for

the

Emergency

Alarm

to

be hushed.

Only

silence

an

alarm

once you have checked conditions

at

the

Nest

Protect

that

first

sounded

the

alarm.

Do

not

silence

Nest

Protect by disconnecting

it

from

line voltage and removing

the

batteries. This

will

disable

the

alarm so

it

cannot sense smoke

or carbon monoxide, leaving you

at

risk.

Because

there

are many

different

types

of

fires,

you may experience

an

Emergency Alarm

without

having

first

experienced a Heads-Up alert.

This means

that

critical

levels

of

smoke or

CO

occurred

extremely

quickly and Nest

Protect

has

to

sound

the

Emergency Alarm.

HAVE

MORE

THAN

ONE

NEST

PROTECT?

After

all

the

Nest Protects

in your home are

connected

to

each other,

if

there's a Heads-Up

or

an

Emergency Alarm in one room,

they'll

all

tell

you what

the

danger is and which room it's in.

If

multiple

Nest

Protects

are interconnected,

a Heads-Up

alert

or Emergency Alarm can be

silenced only

at

the

Nest

Protect

that

originally

sounded

the

alert. You'll need

to

go

to

that

room

to

hush all

the

Nest Protects

in your home.

Always check

the

conditions near

the

Nest

Protect

that

first

detected

the

smoke or carbon

monoxide before silencing it.
