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.

14. General Carbon Monoxide (CO) Information Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless poison gas that can be fatal when inhaled. CO inhibits the blood’s capacity to carry oxygen. Possible Sources of Co Inside your home, appliances used for heating and cooking are the most likely sources of CO. Vehicles running in attached garages can also produce dangerous levels of CO.
Page 27
HVAC contractors will perform CO inspections. Some contractors may charge for this service. It’s advisable to inquire about any applicable fees prior to having the service performed. Kidde will not pay for, or reimburse the owner or user of this product, for any repair or dispatch calls related to the alarm sounding.
15. Cleaning Your Alarm your Alarm Should be Cleaned at least once a year You can clean the interior of your alarm (sensing chamber) by using compressed air or a vacuum cleaner hose and blow- ing or vacuuming through the openings around the perimeter of the alarm. The outside of the alarm can be wiped with a damp cloth.
16. Good Safety Habits develop and Practice a Plan of escape Prepare and practice a home escape plan twice a year, including drills at night. Know two ways out of every room (door & window) and identify a meeting place outside the home where everyone will gather once they have exited the resi- dence.
