It has two kinds of voice alerts: Heads-Up and emergency alarms. • Nest Protect can see smoke or carbon monoxide levels rising.

WIRELESS INTERCONNECT HEADS-UP AND EMERGENCY ALARMS ALERTS Nest Protect has two kinds of voice alerts: HeadsUp and emergency alarms.

A Heads-Up can be silenced by standing underneath Nest Protect and waving at it or pushing the Nest button.
TESTING NEST PROTECT SELF-MONITORING Nest Protect continuously tests itself to ensure that everything is working fine, so you don’t have to wonder if it is working or not. Nest Protect will check its battery and sensors and will let you know if it has a message for you. When you turn out the lights for the night, Nest Protect will glow green for a moment - that means everything is working. If it glows yellow, this means Nest Protect has detected something wrong that needs your attention.
