How do I Reset a Simon Alarm Sysyem?

A security system monitors for burglary, carbon monoxide, fire and other emergencies. A malfunctioning security system affects peace of mind and is a safety hazard, so when your security system fails to work as it should, you may need to reset the system to the factory settings. The software inside the system occasionally needs a reboot just as any computer-controlled device would need.
