We see that some mu'adhdhins do not call the first adhan except in the month of Ramadan only, so what is the ruling?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: What some people do in some mosques is that they do not call the first adhan except in the month of Ramadan only, and as for the rest of the time, they do not do that. Is this from what is prescribed?

The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with this. The intended adhan is the second one, which is at the appearance of the dawn. As for the first one, it is a recommended practice (sunnah). If they perform it, that is good, and if they do not perform it, they have not left behind an obligatory act; they have only left behind a recommended practice.

The presenter:
May Allah be pleased with you.

The Shaykh:
But the adhan at the appearance of the dawn is necessary; it is obligatory. Yes.
