HEADS-UP AND EMERGENCY ALARMS

ALERTS
Nest Protect has two kinds of voice alerts:
Heads-Up and Emergency Alarms.
A Heads-Up is a friendly warning before
conditions get dangerous. Nest Protect
pulses yellow and tells you where smoke
or carbon monoxide is.
An Emergency Alarm occurs when smoke or
carbon monoxide reach dangerous levels.
Nest Protect pulses red, makes a loud alarm
sound and tells you what room the emergency
is in. The smoke alarm takes precedence when
carbon monoxide is also present.

WHICH ALERTS CAN BE SILENCED
• Heads-Up alerts can be hushed by using the
Nest button.
• Emergency Alarms cannot be hushed by using
the Nest button if smoke reaches a critical level.
• Because there are many different types of
fires, you may experience an Emergency
Alarm without having first experienced a
Heads-Up alert. This means that dangerous
levels of smoke or CO occurred extremely
quickly and Nest Protect must sound the
Emergency Alarm.
• After the Nest Protects in your home are
connected to each other, whenever there's
a Heads-Up or an Emergency Alarm in one
room, they will all tell you what and where the
danger is. So go to that room and press the
Nest button on the Nest Protect there to hush
every Nest Protect in the home. This will
ensure that you will identify the source of
the danger in that room.
