Electric Trim Availability?

It's been pointed out that the range allowed for electric trim is less than can be obtained from the trim wheel (airload permitting).

Does that mean electric trim can not be used to return trim outside its range back to within its range?
Unbelievable ! But that would explain why the electric trim ANU stopped twice at about the same position (2.3/2.4 units).
