Use and Care Manual

5. Remove your old smoke alarm

You may have to twist the alarm to release it.

Carefully remove it to keep from damaging

your ceiling or wall. Unscrew and remove the

backplate if there is one.

6. Install the Nest backplate

Screw the Nest backplate to the ceiling

or wall using the included screws. Make

sure the screws are all the way in and

snug against the backplate.

Tip: Your old smoke alarm might make a loud noise

when you disconnect it.

Tip: All smoke alarms prefer to live in a dust free area,

so remove any dust before you install Nest Protect.
