The Kidde P4010DCSCO-W beeps intermittently every 30 seconds and announces "Connection lost, press button to temporarily silence" because it has lost connection. This indicates a communication issue within the wireless alarm network. Pressing the button temporarily silences the alert, but the issue should be resolved by checking the alarm’s network connection and re-establishing communication.
