Safety Warnings

WARNING: HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION; READ BEFORE USE TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, DISCOMFORT, PROPERTY DAMAGE, INCLUDING DAMAGE TO YOUR GOOGLE NEST CAM ACCESSORIES OR ANY CONNECTED DEVICES, AND OTHER POTENTIAL HAZARDS.

Handling

Handle your Nest Cam with care. You may damage the device or any included accessories if you disassemble, drop, bend, burn, crush or puncture your device. Do not use a Nest Cam with a cracked lens or some other form of physical damage. Using a damaged Nest Cam may cause overheating or injury. Do not expose your Nest Cam to liquids, which can cause a short circuit and overheating. If your Nest Cam gets wet, do not attempt to dry it using an external heat source.

Nest Cam is designed to operate in a dry, indoor environment. Your Nest Cam is designed to work best in ambient temperatures between 32° and 104° F (0° and 40° C), and should be stored between ambient temperatures of -4° and 140° F (-20° and 60° C). Do not expose your Nest Cam to temperatures above 140° F (60° C), such as near a heating vent, as this may damage the Nest Cam or pose a risk of fire. Keep your Nest Cam away from heat sources and out of direct sunlight. If your device becomes too hot, disconnect it from its power source if it is plugged in, move it to a cooler place and do not use it until it has cooled. Your Nest Cam is designed to work best at an altitude of up to 16,404 ft (5,000 m).

Repair & Service

Do not attempt to repair your Nest Cam yourself. Disassembling the device may cause injury or damage to your device.

Contact customer service if Nest Cam isn’t working properly or has been damaged: g.co/nest/help

Powering

Be sure the power adapter and Nest Cam are well ventilated when in use. Using damaged cables or power adapters, or powering when moisture is present, can cause fire, electric shock, injury, or damage to the Nest Cam or other property. Do not power your Nest Cam when it’s wet. Avoid powering your device in direct sunlight.

When powering the device, make sure the power adapter is plugged into a power outlet near the device and is easily accessible. Do not force this power adapter and other plugs or power adapters to a power outlet if space is not sufficient to accommodate both. When disconnecting the power adapter from a power outlet, pull on the adapter, never on the charging cable. Do not twist or pinch the cable, and do not force a connector into a port.

This device comes with an AC adapter that has appropriate certifications.

Only power your Nest Cam with a compatible power adapter available on the Google Store or at Google authorized resellers (look for Google’s “made for” badge). The AC adapter must be certified with a Limited Power Source output per IEC 60950-1 and/or classified PS1 per IEC 62368-1, rated: 5 Volts DC, maximum 1.5Amp. Failure to use compatible charging accessories can cause fire, electric shock, injury, or damage to the device and the accessories.

Prolonged Heat Exposure

The Nest Cam and its power adapter generate heat during normal operation and comply with applicable surface temperature standards and limits. Avoid prolonged skin contact when the device is in use or powering because exposing skin to hot surfaces for a long period of time may cause discomfort or burns. Do not sleep on or with your device or its power adapter, or cover them with a blanket or pillow. Be aware of this issue if you have a physical condition that affects your ability to detect heat against your skin.

Child Safety

This device is not a toy. Your Nest Cam may contain (or may come with) small parts, plastic, glass, or metal elements, and parts with sharp edges that may cause an injury or create a choking hazard. Children have strangled on cords and cables. Keep the Nest Cam’s cords and cables out of the reach of children (more than 3 feet (0.9 meters) away) and do not allow them to play with the Nest Cam and its accessories. They could hurt themselves or others, or could accidentally damage the Nest Cam.

Disposal, Transportation, & Recycling

Dispose of and transport your device and accessories according to local environmental and transportation regulations. Do not improperly transport them or dispose of them in normal household waste. Improper disposal or transport may lead to fire, explosion, and/or other hazards. Do not open, crush, heat above 140 ̊F (60 ̊C), or incinerate. For more information on recycling your device and accessories, visit g.co/HWRecyclingProgram.

Environmental Restrictions

To prevent damage to your Nest Cam parts or internal circuits, do not use or store the device or its accessories in dusty, smoky, damp, or dirty environments, or near magnetic fields. Keep it away from heat sources and out of direct sunlight. Do not leave your Nest Cam inside a vehicle or in places where the temperature may exceed 140° F (60° C), such as on a window sill, near a heating vent, or behind glass that is exposed to direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet light for extended periods of time. This may damage the Nest Cam or pose a risk of fire or explosion.

Proper Handling and Usage

Follow these guidelines when using, storing or cleaning of your Nest Cam:

Operating Temperature

Do not use your Nest Cam and power adapter, at ambient temperatures lower than 0°C (32°F) or higher than 40°C (104°F). If the interior temperature of the device exceeds normal operating temperatures, you may experience the following behaviors while the device tries to regulate its temperature: reduced performance or device may power down. You may not be able to use the device while it regulates its temperature. Move the device to a cooler (or warmer) location and wait a few minutes before attempting to use it again.

Care & Cleaning

Unplug the Nest Cam and power adapter before cleaning, during lightning storms, or when unused for extended periods of time. Do not clean your Nest Cam while it is powered as this may cause injury or damage to your device. Avoid solvent and abrasive material that may cause damage to the product surface. Do not use any chemical detergent, powder, or other chemical agents (such as benzene) to clean the Nest Cam or accessories.

To clean your Nest Cam we recommend gently wiping it with a soft, lint-free cloth. Use a dry cloth for streaks, smudges or dust.

Water Resistance 

Do not expose your Nest Cam to liquids, which can cause a short circuit and overheating. The device and power adapter and other accessories are not water resistant and should not be exposed to liquids.
