Default Using ATV on Tx

The control throws on my first plane, a Hobbico Superstar EP, are somewhat larger than the recommended settings for a beginner pilot like me. I assembled the pushrods in the proper servo arm and control horn holes, per the instructions. Can I use the ATV adjustment on my Hitec Laser 4 Tx to reduce the allowable rudder and elevator throws. If so, what is the proper procedure (the brochure that came with the Tx really doesn't explain the process)? The specified "low rate" settings for the Superstar EP are: 1/4" for elevator and 3/8" for rudder. The specified "high rate" settings are: 7/16" for elevator and 5/8" for rudder. I currently measure for my plane: 3/8" for elevator and 3/4" for rudder. Will my current throws get me into trouble as a new pilot (I plan to get instructor help at my local flying field while learning)? Thanks.
