 === Remove Failed Device from Controller ===
-If a Z-Wave device is no longer available to your network (it failed, etc.) then you can use this menu item to remove it from the interface. You might need to attempt a Define and Sync on the device (and allow it to fail) - just create a new device, try to sync it, when it fails then try to remove it.
+If a Z-Wave device has failed or is no longer available to your network, you can use this menu item to remove it from the Z-Wave interface.
+You may have to attempt to resync the device in order for it to be listed as failed.
+  * If an Indigo device object still exists, you can open the Edit Device dialog and attempt to **Defne and Sync** the device. If it has truly failed, the sync operation will fail, and the interface will add it to its internal failed list.
+  * If an Indigo device object is no longer available, you can simply create a new device, attempt to sync the failed device and, when the operation has failed, and the interface will add it to its internal failed list.
+If you select this menu item and the Z-Wave interface doesn't have any failed devices in its list, Indigo will return this message:
+<code>
+   Z-Wave                          no failed modules found in controller
+</code>
