Nautel’s service representative takes full responsibility for commissioning the transmitter, validating all
external interfaces (i.e., the ac supply, RF output, remote control and monitoring equipment) and
checking out the equipment prior to activation. The service representative turns on the transmitter,
performs all adjustments and set-up procedures, and carries out proof of performance tests at the site.

to Nautel regarding the commissioning service.
