3. Have more Nest Protects?
The Nest app will ask you if you have additional 
Nest Protects to set up. If so, it’ll take you 
through a faster setup. Be sure to keep all your 
Nest Protects together until they’re all set up 
and ready to be installed.
2. Set up Nest Protect
The Nest app will guide you through each 
step: scanning the Nest Protect QR code, 
connecting it to the Internet, and connecting 
it to other Nest Protects in your home. Go to 
nest.com/installprotect to watch the video.
Tip: Your Nest Protect came packed in a plastic cover. 
Keep the cover on so your Nest Protect stays clean 
until you install it.
Tip: Lay everything out on a table for easy setup.
5.  Turn off power
Protect yourself and avoid blowing a fuse. 
Switch off the correct circuit breaker for the 
room where you are installing Nest Protect 
or remove the fuse from the fuse box.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to turn off the power may result in 
serious electrical shock, injury and death.
Tip: To double check Nest Protect’s room name, 
press the Nest button once. You’ll hear the location 
you assigned it during setup. It’ll say something like, 
“Ready in the bedroom.”
4. Test before you install
Once you’re done setting up all of your Nest 
Protects, make sure they’ve been added to 
your Nest Account. Push the Nest button on 
one Nest Protect and follow the instructions. 
All of your Nest Protects should speak up. 
Now you can install them on the ceiling or wall.
