Narrative:
Had MEL 27-08 pitch trim position indication. Followed MEL instructions; verified trim set on tail during taxi checks; takeoff confign check; aural stated ding; ding; ding trim. Returned to gate; reverified trim position on tail. Called maintenance control and was told to remove all power from aircraft; restart and try takeoff confign again. Still had warning. Called maintenance control again. Told by maintenance control that crew was allowed to depart with aural warning chiming during takeoff roll. Maintenance control gave me his employee number to add to flight plan and load manifest. Completed normal flight to ZZZ with maintenance control authority/authorized.
