I've never seen a setting like that. Mine all work great out of the 
box though my uniden on my private line here is well down on range 
from the panasonics my mother has. Mine will make it to the mailbox 
about 100 feet away, with walls in between where as the panasonic 
base is farther away from the street and I can get 1/4 of a mile away 
and it sounds just as good as close up. I haven't tried any farther. 
IN this neighborhood I'd get lost going that far.
