Default Need help calibrating a hacked GT3C

I hacked my GT3C the other day and according the the instructions from Overkill, step 7 says the steering and throttle need to be calibrated.
Step 7 says 'CAL' should come up on the screen. I had it come up once, then disapeared before I could calibrate it. I reflashed the firmware for a second time to see if CAL would come up again, but it didn't.
Is there a way to access it from the menu? The menu isn't exactly easy to follow.

Another issue I have is the on screen voltage reads 9.3v, but the battery is only a 3.7v. It tests ok with a multimeter. Any suggestions?

I contacted Overkill the other day but haven't got a response yet. I'm guessing they aren't opperating over christmas/ new years.
Any help would be great.

Now turn the enter button till 2 is displayed on your left

press enter
Let trigger center, let numbers stabilize

with a volt meter measure your current battery voltage
