 WARNING

• The range and proper operation of any 

wireless device will vary depending on its 
surroundings.

• Nest Protect alarms are not to be used 

outdoors or to transmit between buildings. 
The alarms will not communicate properly 
in those conditions.

• Metal objects and metallic wallpaper 

may interfere with signals from wireless 
alarms. Test your Nest Protects with metal 
doors opened and closed.

Note:

 Nest Protect can be used as a single-

station or multiple-station alarm. You can 
connect up to 18 interconnected Nest Protects 
to your Nest Account.

WIRELESS INTERCONNECT

Nest Protects connect wirelessly to each other 
so that when one speaks, they all speak. This 
means that when one Nest Protect raises any 
kind of alert, every Nest Protect in the house will 
tell you which room the smoke or CO is in. For 
example, if you’re in the bedroom and the alarm 
goes off in the basement, the Nest Protect in 
the bedroom will tell you where the smoke or CO 
is. To silence the alert, go to the room where the 
alarm was triggered. All the Nest Protects in the 
house can be silenced from there. Either press 
the button on the Nest Protect or use the Nest 
app to silence the alarm.

Nest Protect does not have a wire for interconnect 
because it connects wirelessly. There’s no need to 
connect any Nest Protect wire to the interconnect 
wire coming from the ceiling or wall.

Nest Protect - Battery (model numbers 05A-E 
and A13) and Nest Protect - Wired 230 V (model 
numbers 05C-E and A14) are compatible and 
can be interconnected wirelessly. Nest Protect 
wireless interconnect will not work with smoke 
or CO alarms from other brands.

Nest Protects can generally communicate with 
each other if they’re 15 m (50 feet) or less apart 
inside a home. Some features of a home may 
reduce Nest Protect’s wireless interconnect 
range, including the number of floors, number 
and size of rooms, furniture, type of building 
materials, suspended ceilings, ductwork, large 
metal appliances and metal studs. This kind 
of interference can be overcome by adding more 
Nest Protects that can route wireless signals 
around obstructions.
