Location in your home
The National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) recommends installing a smoke alarm
in the following areas:
• On every floor, including finished attics
and basements.
• Inside and outside every sleeping area.
• At the top of the first-to-second floor
stairway and on the basement ceiling near
the entry of the stairs.
• In homes with more than 1,000 square feet
(93 m
) on one level, additional alarms may
2
be required.

Nest Protect should be installed at
least 10 feet (3 m) away from cooktops

4. Test before you install
Once you're done setting up all of your Nest
Protects, make sure they've been added to
your Nest Account. Push the Nest button on
one Nest Protect and follow the instructions.
All of your Nest Protects should speak up.
Now you can install them on the ceiling or wall.
Tip: To double check Nest Protect's room name,
press the Nest button once. You'll hear the location
you assigned it during setup. It'll say something like,
"Ready in the bedroom."
5. Turn off power
Protect yourself and avoid blowing a fuse.
Switch off the correct circuit breaker for the
room where you are installing Nest Protect
or remove the fuse from the fuse box.
