@RetiredF4:

I know, the only refrence made is in

FCOM 1.27.00 Description:

"Mechanical control from the pitch trim wheel has priority over electrical control."

and

Flight controls normal law.

Automatic pitch trim is frozen in the following cases:
Manual trim order
- ......

I've read that during training crew is prohibited to touch the wheel,
IMO that's a shame, they should know the dangers and benefits of such action.

To be exact:

In Direct LAW it is PFD amber message "USE MAN PITCH TRIM"
in backup (Elevator not available) the message is red "MAN PITCH TRIM ONLY"
