DANGER
NEVER connect the transceiver to an AC outlet or to a DC
power supply that uses more than 10 V. This will ruin the
transceiver.
DO NOT reverse the polarities of the power supply when
connecting the transceiver.
DO NOT apply an RF signal of more than 20 dBm (100 mW)
to the antenna connector. This could damage the trans-
ceiver's front end.

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.
