TRIM
submenu: resets and adjust effectiveness of digital trims.
The 10C has digital trims which are different from conventional mechanical
trim sliders. Each TRIM LEVER is actually a two-direction switch. Each time
the TRIM LEVER is pressed, the trim is changed a selected amount. When you
hold the TRIM LEVER, the trim speed increases. The current trim position is
graphically displayed on the start up screen. The
TRIM
submenu includes two
functions that are used to manage the trim options.
