STARTING SOFTWARE ADJUSTMENT
(1) Connect IC-M72 and a PC with OPC-478/U,
OPC-1028 and JIG CABLE.
(2) Turn the transceiver ON.
®
(3) Boot up Windows
, and click the program group 'CS-M72
ADJ' in the 'Programs' folder of the [Start] menu,
then CS-M72 ADJ's window appears.
(4) Click 'Adjust' on the CS-M72's window, then IC-M72's
up-to-date condition appears.
(5) Set or modify adjustment value as specified.
CAUTION!:
BACK UP the originally programmed memory
data in the transceiver before programming
the adjustment frequencies.
When program the adjustment frequencies
into the transceiver, the transceiver's memory
data will be overwritten and lose original
memory data at the same time.

Questions and answers
Sound does not work
The sound might not work on the Icom IC-M72 due to the following reasons:
1. Squelch Level: The squelch level may be set too high, which blocks audio. Adjust it by pushing the appropriate buttons (`[ ]`, `[Y]`/`[Z]`) to lower the squelch level.
2. Volume Setting: The volume may be set too low. Rotate the `[VOL]` knob to increase the volume.
3. Signal Reception: Ensure the radio is receiving a signal. The " " indicator should appear when a signal is being received, and audio should emit from the speaker.
4. Speaker Issue: Check if the speaker is functioning properly. If the external speaker or audio output is faulty, repair or replacement may be needed.
5. Incorrect Channel: Verify that the correct channel is selected, as some channels may not have active transmissions.
If these adjustments do not resolve the issue, further inspection or servicing may be required.
