Trims are used adjust the center position of a given stick axis. EdgeTX has the following time configuration options:

**Reset** - This resets all trim values to zero.

**Trim Step:** Defines the amount of increase/decrease in trim when the trim switch is pressed.

* Coarse = 1.6%
* Medium = 0.8%
* Fine = 0.4%
* Extra Fine = 0.2%
* Exponential = 0.2% near the center and the step value increases exponentially as the distance from the center increases.

**Hats Mode (select radios)**: On radios that use the hat/D-pad control as trim keys (e.g. the NV14-family: NV14, EL18, PL18, PL18EV), selects whether the control is used for trims or menu interaction.

**Extended Trims**: Increases the maximum trim adjustment value from ±25% to ±100%.

{% hint style="info" %}
When switching from extended trims to normal trims, the extended trim value will remain until the trim is adjusted, then it will jump to the max/min normal trim value.
{% endhint %}

**Display trims:** Option to display the numerical trim value on the trim bar. Options are:

* **No -** Does not display the numerical trim value on the trim bar
* **Yes** - Displays the numerical trim value on the trim bar once the trim is no longer at zero.
* **Change -** Momentarily displays the numerical trim value on the trim bar (2 seconds) once the trim is no longer at zero.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://manual.edgetx.org/color-radios/model-settings/model-setup/trims.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
