English translation: Incomplete source document

English term or phrase: please check whether the modulation (Korea)
I'm translating a Korean certificate of free sale for medical devices. There is a text at the end of each page that I fail to understand:

"The certificate was issued on the Internet, e-application Minwon24 (minwon.go.kr) confirmed the document's issuing a confirmation number, or page through the menu bar at the bottom of the page content above, **please check whether the modulation**. However, the confirmation page with a confirmation number is available 90 days from the date of issuance."

The text sounds unfinished. Furthermore, the word "modulation" doesn't make any sense in this context.

¿Does anyone know or can anyone guess what the expression between asterisks might mean? I don't speak any Korean so I cannot even guess.

TIA

please check whether the modulation (korea)
please check if the information is correct


Explanation:
I would just write a note that the source probably means "please check if the information is correct".

"check whether the modulation" ->
"check whether the information has been altered" ->
"check whether the information has been entered incorrectly" ->
"check if the information is correct"

If the information can be wrong, it doesn't serve as a certificate, though. Maybe they have entered information incorrectly so many times that they now require customers to check if it's correct...

verifique si cuenta con marca de agua digital


Explanation:
Modulation Watermark / Digital Watermarking
Un método de marca de agua digital se denomina espectro ensanchado si la señal marcada se obtiene mediante una modificación aditiva. Se sabe que las marcas de agua de espectro ensanchado son modestamente sólidas, pero también tienen una baja capacidad de información debido a la interferencia del host . Se dice que un método de marca de agua digital es del tipo de cuantificación si la señal marcada se obtiene mediante cuantificación. Las marcas de agua de cuantificación adolecen de poca robustez, pero tienen una alta capacidad de información debido al rechazo de la interferencia del host. Un método de marca de agua digital se denomina modulación de amplitud si la señal marcada está incrustada mediante una modificación aditiva que es similar al método de espectro ensanchado, pero está incrustada particularmente en el dominio espacial
