DAILY USE
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.
PATHLIGHT
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 Pathlight and set its brightness with
the Nest app.
DAILY USE AND EMERGENCY PREPARATION
EMERGENCY PREPARATION
TESTING
Perform a manual test of your battery powered
Nest Protect at least weekly. During a test, all
interconnected Nest Protects in your home check
their sensors, power, Wi-Fi connection, light ring,
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.
