DAILY USE
AND
EMERGENCY PREPARATION
DAILY USE
POWER
Nest Protect (Wired
120V)
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 outage,
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
out
the
lights
for
the
night,
Nest
Protect
will
glow green
for
a
moment-
that
means 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 an issue
with
the
sensors.
Just
push
the
Nest
button
or use
the
Nest app
to
see
what's
wrong.
PATH
LIGHT
Usually Nest Protect has
its
light turned off,
but
it
can light your way as you walk underneath
it
in
the dark.
You
can enable or disable Path light
and
set
its
brightness
with
the
Nest app. Nest
Protect (Wired
120V)
also allows you
to
set
Path light
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.

EMERGENCY PREPARATION
TESTING
Perform a manual
test
of
your wired
Nest
Protect
at
least
monthly. During a
test,
all
interconnected Nest Protects
in
your home
check
their
sensors, power, Wi-Fi connection,
emergency horn, speaker and microphone.
When you run a
test,
Nest
Protect
will
give you
a
countdown
before sounding
the
alarm
so 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 everything's okay.
If
you
have
interconnected
Nest
Protects,
all
of
them
should speak.
