You'll probably find this is a manual reset switch for your alarm system - for example if the alarm is faulty and won't respond to the key fob, you can switch it off here. I believe it'll just put everything back to the standard settings. Sometimes alarms get "confused" and this is the only way to sort them out.  :smiley:
