Digital trims can be used in 2 ways:
•
Operating by the lever: Push the lever to the left or right (up or down).
•
Operating by push button switch: Press the push button switch in
the desired direction.
•
The current position is displayed on the LCD screen in the bottom
three rows of the list.
•
Each step is indicated by a tone.
•
When the trim exceeds the maximum trim adjustment range, the beep
will change and the servo will not move any farther. Return to the
neutral position (center) by pressing both the push button switches
simultaneously for about one second.
•
Trim lever adjustments have no effect on the maximum servo travel.
This prevents the linkages from binding when adjustments are made.

times on right side of LCD screen.

Operate the dials by turning them. The current set value is displayed
on the LCD screen.
•
A beep is made at each step.

When the maximum position is reached at each side, the length of the
beep changes. Thereafter, the set value does not change.

remembered for each model separately.
