station alarm.
The installation of this apparatus should be carried out by a competent person.
This guide covers the installation of Nest Protect (Battery) – Model number O5A-E.

It is recommended that you place at least one smoke alarm on every floor of a dwelling,
and a carbon monoxide detector in at least every room with a fuel burning appliance.
The Nest Protect smoke and carbon monoxide alarm should be installed:
• On every floor (required by law for smoke alarms).
• In every room containing a fuel burning appliance (recommended for CO alarms).
• In every sleeping room.
• In remote rooms that are used often but may be too far away to hear an alarm.
• Outside of unused rooms, like the boiler room.
Nest Protect should be installed at least 3 m (10 ft) away from cooktops or cooking appliances.
Nest Protect should NOT be installed in unfinished attics or garages.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
When the Nest Protect smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarm has something to say, it will speak to you
in words and colours instead of just beeping. It has two kinds of alerts: Heads-Up and Emergency Alarms.
• Nest Protect can see smoke or carbon monoxide levels rising. So before it turns on an Emergency
Alarm, Nest Protect gives you a friendly spoken Heads-Up to warn you in advance. It pulses yellow
and speaks to you, telling you what and where the danger is.
• When smoke or carbon monoxide reach dangerous levels, Nest Protect tells you where the
emergency is and pulses red, in addition to making a loud alarm sound. This is an Emergency Alarm.
