HEADSUP AND EMERGENCY AL ARMS
ALERTS
When Nest Pr otect has somethin g to say, it will speak to yo u in words and light up instead of just beep ing. Nest Protect ha s two kinds of voice aler ts: Heads-Up and Emergen cy Alarms.
When smoke or ca rbon monoxide level s are heightened but haven’t yet reached Emergency Alarm level s, Nest Protec t can sound a Heads-Up as an early warn ing. Nest Protect wil l pulse yellow and tell y ou where there’s smoke or carbon monoxide.
You’ll get an Emergency A larm when smoke or carbon mon oxide reach critic al levels. Nest Protect w ill pulse red, sound a loud al arm, and tell you what ro om the emergency is in . If there’s both smoke and C O present, the smoke al arm will take priority.
SILENCING
Heads-Up aler ts and some Emergen cy Alarms can be hushe d by using the Nest app or pressing th e Nest button. In som e cases, the smoke level may be t oo high for the Emergenc y Alarm to be hu shed. Only silence an alar m once you have ch ecked conditions at th e Nest Protect t hat first sounded the al arm. Do not silence Nes t Protect by disconn ecting it from line voltage a nd removing the bat teries. This will disable the al arm so it cannot sens e smoke or carbon mo noxide, leaving you at risk .
Because th ere are many differ ent types of fires , you may experience an Emergency Alarm without having first ex perienced a Heads-Up a lert. This means tha t critical levels of sm oke or CO occurre d extremely quickly an d Nest Protect has to sound th e Emergency Alarm.
HAVE MORE THA N ONE NEST PROTEC T?
After all t he Nest Protect s in your home are connect ed to each other, if there’s a Heads-Up or an Emergenc y Alarm in one room, the y’ll all tell you what th e danger is and which room it ’s in.
If multiple Nest P rotects are inte rconnected, a Heads-Up aler t or Emergency Alar m can be silenced onl y at the Nest Protect t hat originally sounded the al ert. You’ll need to go to that ro om to hush all the Nes t Protects in your ho me. Always check the conditions near the Nest Protect that first detected the smoke or carbon monoxide be fore silencing it.

WIRELESS IN TERCONNECT
Nest Prot ects connect wir elessly to each other so that when on e speaks, they all speak . That means when on e Nest Protect rais es any kind of alert, e very Nest Prote ct in the house will tell you which r oom the smoke or CO is in. For example, if you’re in t he bedroom and the alar m goes off in t he basement, the Nes t Protect in the bedroo m will tell you where the smoke o r CO is. To silence the aler t, go to the room wher e the alarm was t riggered. All of the Ne st Protects in the house can b e hushed from there. Ei ther press the bu tton on the Nest Pro tect or use use the Nest app to h ush the alarm.

• This sm oke alarm alone is not a suit able substitute for complete fire detection systems in pl aces housing many peo ple— like apartmen t buildings, condominiums, hotels, motels, dormitories, hospitals, long-term health care facilities, nursing homes, day ca re facilities, or gro up homes of any kind—eve n if they were once single­family homes . It is not a suitable subst itute for complete fire detection systems in warehouses, industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and sp ecial-purpose non­residential buildings which require special fire detec tion and alarm system s. Depending on the building co des in your area, this smoke alarm may be us ed to provide addition al protection in these facilities.
LIMITATIONS OF CARBON MONOXIDE CO ALARMS
• NE VER ignore your carbon m onoxide alarm if it alarms. Ref er to “What to do in case of a c arbon monoxide alarm” for more information. Failure to do so can re sult in injury or death.
• This C O alarm is designed fo r use inside a single-family hom e or apartment. I t is not meant to be us ed in common lobbies, hal lways, or basemen ts of multi-family buildings unles s working CO al arms are also instal led in each family living un it. CO alarms in common a reas may not be hear d from inside individua l family living units.
• This C O alarm alone is not a suit able substitute for complete detection systems in places which house man y people, like hotels or dormitori es, unless a CO alarm is al so placed in each unit.
• DO NOT u se this CO alarm in warehou ses, industrial or c ommercial buildings, sp ecial purpose non -residential buildings, o r airplanes. This CO alarm i s specifically design ed for residenti al use, and may not provide a dequate protection in non-residential applications.
• Som e individuals are more s ensitive to CO than other s, including people with c ardiac or respiratory problems, infants, unborn babies, pregnant mo thers, or elderly pe ople can be more quickly an d severely affec ted by CO. Members of sensitive populations should consult their d octors for advic e on taking additional precautions.
• The s ilence feature is for yo ur convenience only and will not c orrect a CO proble m. Always check your home for a potential problem after any alarm. Failur e to do so can result in injur y or death.

SMOKE DETECTION Are more smoke alarms desirable?
The require d number of smoke alarms migh t not provid e reliable early warning pr otection for those ar eas separated by a doo r from the areas pr otected by the requir ed smoke alarms. For t his reason, the use of addi tional smoke alarms f or those areas for incr eased protection is recommended. The additional areas includ e the dining room, and hallways not prote cted by the required sm oke alarms. The installation of smoke alarms in kitchens, attics (finis hed or unfinished), or garage s is not normally r ecommended, bec ause these locations occasionally experience conditions that can res ult in improper operatio n. As Nest Protect i s also a Carbon Monoxid e alarm, it is not recomm ended to install it in a f urnace room or a utilit y room if it contains a wat er heater or a furnace. It s hould be 15-20 fe et from these appliances t o avoid transient con ditions and/or perceived nuisance alarms .

WHERE TO INS TALL YOUR SMOKE ALA RMS
For your inform ation, the National Fire A larm and Signaling C ode, NFPA 72, reads as follows: “29.5.1 *Required Detection.” “ *Where requ ired by applicable laws, c odes, or standar ds for a specific ty pe of occupancy, approved single- and multiple-station smoke alarms shall b e installed as follows: (1) *In all sleeping rooms and gue st rooms (2) *Outside of e ach separate dwelling uni t sleeping are a, within 21 ft (6.4 m) of any door to a sleeping ro om, the distance mea sured along a path of tr avel (3) On every leve l of a dwelling unit, including basements (4) On every leve l of a residential boar d and care
WHERE NOT TO IN STALL YOUR SMOKE AL ARMS
For best pe rformance, AVOID inst alling a smoke alarm in thes e areas:
Where combustion particles are produced.
Burning material creates combustion particles which could ca use your smoke alarm to go off unnec essarily. Areas to avo id include poorly ventilated kitchens, garages, boats, recreational vehicles, and furnace rooms. Keep a smoke alar m at least 20 feet (6 m) from from th e source of combust ion particles (stove, furnace, water heater, space heater) if possible. In a reas where a 20-foot (6 m) distance i s not possible – in mobile, o r smaller homes, for ex ample – it is recommen ded a smoke alarm to b e placed as far fro m these fuel-bur ning sources as pos sible. The placement recommendations are intended to keep a smoke det ector at a reason able distance f rom a fuel-burning sourc e, reducing “unwanted” alarms. Unwanted alarms can occur if a smoke al arm is placed direc tly next to a fuel-burning so urce. Ventilate thes e areas as much as pos sible.
In air streams near kitchens. Air curren ts can
draw cooking s moke into the sensor of a sm oke alarm near the kitchen.
In ver y damp, humid or steam y areas, or directly near bathrooms with showers. Keep a smoke alarm at le ast 10 feet (3 m) away from showers, saunas, dishwashers, etc.
Where temperatures are regularly below 40˚F (4˚C) or above 100˚ F (38˚C) including unheated buildings, outdoor rooms, porches, or unfinished at tics or basemen ts.
In ver y dusty, dirty, or gr easy areas. Do n ot install a smo ke alarm directly over t he stove
or range. Clean a l aundry room unit f requently to keep it fre e of dust or lint.
Near fr esh air vents, ceil ing fans, or in ver y drafty areas. Drafts c an blow smoke away from a smoke alarm, pr eventing it from re aching the sensor.
In insec t infested ar eas. Insect s can clog openings to the sensor a nd cause unwanted ala rms.
Less t han 12 inches (30.5 cm) away from fluorescent lights. Electric al “noise” can interfere with the sensor.
• In “dead air” sp aces. “Dead air” s paces may prevent smo ke from reaching a smoke al arm.
WHERE NOT TO IN STALL YOUR CO ALA RMS
• Kee p carbon monoxide al arm at least 10 ft (3 m) away from any co oking appliance includi ng stovetop, oven, microwave, etc.
• Th is alarm should not be ins talled in location s where the normal ambient temperature is below 40°F (4.4°C) or exce eds 100°F (37.8°C).
EXA MPLES OF WHEN YOUR SMO KE ALARM MAY NOT BE EFFECT IVE
Your alarm may not be ef fective in prot ecting against fire in c ertain cases:
• Smok ing in bed
• Leavin g children unsupervised
• Cleanin g with flammable liquids, like ga soline.
• When s omeone’s clothes have caug ht on fire
• Fire s where the smoke is preven ted from reaching the al arm due to a closed door o r other obstruction
• Incen diary fires where the fi re grows so rapidly that an o ccupant can’t get out , even with alarms in p roper locations

CARBON MONOXIDE CO PRECAUTIONS
WHAT IS CARBON M ONOXIDE?
Carbon Mon oxide (CO) is an invisible, odorle ss, tastele ss gas produced when f uels do not burn completel y, or ar e exposed to heat (usually fir e). These fue ls include: wood, coal, ch arcoal, oil natural gas, ga soline, kerosene, and pr opane. Common appli ances are often so urces of CO such as oil or ga s burning furnaces, gas ovens, wood-b urning fireplaces, and c harcoal grills. If the y are not properly main tained, are improperly ventilated or malfunction, CO levels can rise quick ly. CO is a real danger now that homes are mor e energy effic ient. “Air-tight” homes with ad ded insulation, seale d windows, and other wea therproofing can “ trap” CO inside. Elect rical appliances t ypically do not produce CO. T he Nest Protect C O sensor meets the alarm re sponse time requireme nts of the American N ational Standard A NSI/UL 2034. Standar d alarm times are as follo ws:
• At 70ppm, t he unit must alarm within 60-240 minutes.
• At 150ppm, the un it must alarm within 10-50 minutes.
• At 40p pm, the unit must alarm wit hin 4 to 15 minutes.
WARNING
This carbo n monoxide alarm is desi gned to detect c arbon monoxide fr om any source of co mbustion. It is NOT desig ned to detect a ny other gas.
• The alarm c annot be operated fr om power derived fr om a square wave, modified sq uare wave or modified s ine wave, inverter. These types o f inverters are som etimes used to supply power to t he structure in of f grid installa tions, such as solar or win d derived power sourc es. These power sourc es produce high peak volt ages that will damage the a larm
• Never discon nect the power from an AC powered unit t o stop an unwanted alarm . Doing so will dis able the unit and remove your protect ion. In the case of a true unwa nted alarm open a window or f an the smoke away from the unit. The ala rm will reset automati cally when it returns to normal operation.
• Improper wiri ng of the power connect or or the wiring leadin g to the power connect or will cause dama ge to the alarm and may lead to a non-functi oning alarm. You must test to ensure proper installation.
AC INSTALLATION WARNINGS
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
• Turn off power to the a rea where you will install this un it at the circuit breaker o r fuse box before beginning installation. Failure to turn off t he power before inst allation may result in ser ious electrical sho ck, injury or death.
• Do not res tore power until all alarm s are completely installed. Restoring power before installa tion is complete may resu lt in serious electric al shock, injury or de ath.
• Turn off the power to t he area where the alarm is inst alled before remov ing it from the mounting br acket. Failure to turn of f the power first may r esult in serious elec trical shock, injur y or death.
• If any unit in the ser ies does not alarm, TURN OFF POWER and r echeck connect ions. If it does not a larm when you restor e power, replace it immediately.
• Attemptin g to disconnect the pow er connector from the unit wh en the power is on may result in electric al shock, serious injur y or death.
• Failure to meet a ny of the above requireme nts could damage t he units and cause them to malfunction, removing your protection.
• Improper wiri ng of the power connect or or the wiring leadin g to the power connect or will cause damag e to the alarm and may lead to a non-functioning al arm.
• This unit must b e powered by a 24-hour, 120V AC pure sine wave, 60Hz 0.1A circuit. Be sure the cir cuit cannot be turned o ff by a switch, dimmer, or gro und fault circuit interrupt er. Failur e to connect this unit to a 24-hour circuit ma y prevent it from prov iding constant protection.
CAUTION
The alarm onl y indicates the presen ce of carbon mo noxide gas at the sensor. Carbon mon oxide gas may be present inother area s.
Individuals w ith certain me dical problems should consider usin g detection devi ces with lower COHb alarming capabilities and consider warning devices whi ch provide audible and v isual signals for carbon monoxide concentrations under 30ppm.
SYMPTOMS OF CO POISONING
The following s ymptoms are relate d to CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING an d are to be discussed with ALL members of the household:
Mild Exposure: Slight headache, nausea,
vomiting, fatigue (often described as ‘Flu-like’ symp toms).
Medium Exposure: Severe throbbing
headache, dr owsiness, confusion , fast heart rate.
Extreme Exposure: Unconsciousness,
convulsions, cardiorespiratory failure, death.
• Many ca ses of reporte d CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING indic ate that while victims are aware they ar e not well, they becom e so disorient ed they are unable to save themselves by either exiting the building or calling for as sistance. Young children and household p ets are typical ly the first affec ted.

FIRE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CREATE AN ES CAPE PLAN TO P RACTICE
Be prepare d when your smoke/CO alarm sounds its al arm. Develop a family es cape plan, discus s it with all household me mbers, and practi ce it regularly.
• Make s ure everyone is fam iliar with the sound of your smoke/ CO al arm and explain what th e sound means.
• Det ermine TWO exits fr om each room and have an escap e route to the outside f rom each exit.
• Teach all the members in your household to check door s for heat with the back o f your hand befor e opening them, and to use the alternate ex it if the door is hot. Make sur e they do not ope n the door if it is hot.
• Teach household members to crawl along the floor to avoi d dangerous smoke, fumes and gases.
• Det ermine a safe meeting pl ace for all household members to regroup at outside the building.
PRACTICE FIRE SAFETY
Practic e your escape plan at le ast twice a year, making sure tha t everyone is involv ed – from kids to grandpar ents. Practice t he escape plan with children, inclu ding holding one at night when t hey are sleeping . If children or others do n ot wake up to the sound of t he smoke alarm, or if there are infant s or family members with m obility limitation s, make sure that someon e is assigned to help them fo r the fire drill and in the event of an emergency. Current studies have shown smoke alarms m ay not awaken all sleeping individuals , and that it is the respo nsibility of individuals i n the household that are c apable of
assisting o thers to provide as sistance to thos e who may not be awake ned by the alarm sound, or to those who m ay be incapable of safe ly evacuating the area unassisted.
WHAT TO DO IN CASE O F FIRE
• Get o ut now.
• Don’t p anic; stay calm.
• Oper ate your safety pl an as previously planned.
• Aler t small children in the home a nd those who may need ex tra assistan ce.
• Leave t he building as quickly as pos sible. Touch doors with th e back of your hand and make sure they ar e not hot before openin g them. Use an alte rnate exit, if nece ssary. In case of smoke, c rawl along the floor, and DO NOT stop to c ollect anything. C lose the doors behin d you.
• Meet a t a pre-arranged meet ing place outside the building.
• Once o utside, do a head count , and call the fire department.
• DO NOT r eenter the house, unles s a fire official s ays it’s safe to reente r.
