     // @Param: SAFETYENABLE
-    // @DisplayName: Enable use of safety arming switch
+    // @DisplayName: Sets default state of the safety switch
     // @Description: This controls the default state of the safety switch at startup. When set to 1 the safety switch will start in the safe state (flashing) at boot. When set to zero the safety switch will start in the unsafe state (solid) at startup. Note that if a safety switch is fitted the user can still control the safety state after startup using the switch. The safety state can also be controlled in software using a MAVLink message.
