5. Remove the old smoke alarm
Just remove it safely from the wall or ceiling.
If it had a backplate, unscrew it.
6. Install Nest Protect backplate
Screw the backplate to the wall or ceiling
using the included screws. You can use two or
four screws in any open slot on the backplate
(Use fittings suitable to the material from
wall/ceiling). Make sure the backplate is
squared-up with the wall.
Refer to the diagrams
on pages 6 and 7 for
proper placement of
your Nest Protect.
7. Mount and test Nest Protect
First, line up Nest Protect with the backplate.
Second, give it a slight twist clockwise.
It’ll CLICK into place.
Press the Nest button and follow the spoken
instructions to test. Nest Protect will run a test
and tell you when it’s done.
8. Have more smoke alarms?
Repeat steps 1-7 to install more Nest Protects.
The Nest app will help you connect them to
Wi-Fi and add them to your Nest Account.
Test that all the Nest Protects are wirelessly
connected by pushing the Nest button twice on
one Nest Protect. If they’re connected, every
Nest Protect in the house will speak up. Walk to
each one to make sure you hear them talking.
