Any changes or modifications to the equipment operation settings must be approved by the NextNav, LLC for FCC compliance; otherwise the user's authority to operate the equipment will be voided. Section 15.105(b) Class A digital device Information to the user This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
