INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the Zears family. Congratulations on your new Zears Mobile Purchase. To guarantee the best performance, please read the user manual
carefully and preserve it for future reference.
Some of the contents in this manual may differ from your phone depending on the software of the phone or your service provider.
This product includes certain free/open source software.
The exact terms of the licenses, disclaimers, acknowledgements and notices are available on the Zears website www.zears.in
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) certification information
Your device conforms to United States of America (US) standards that limit human exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy emitted by radio and
telecommunications equipment. These standards prevent the sale of mobile devices that exceed a maximum exposure level (known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, orSAR) of 1.6W/kg. During testing, the maximum SAR recorded for this model was below 1.6W/kg. In normal use, the actual SAR is
likely to be much lower, as the device has been designed to emit only the RF energy necessary to transmit a signal to the nearest base station. By
automatically emitting lower levels when possible, your device reduces your overall exposure to RF energy.
For more information about the SAR and related US standards, visit the Zears website.
