How To Set Up Your New Hitachi Plasma Television  
To take measures to prevent the Plasma Television from tipping over and prevent possible injury  
it is important to mount the unit in a stable and flat surface.  
Securing to a table-top  
ANTENNA  
1. Using wood screws (two) fasten the set to the  
clamping screw holes on the rear of the Plasma  
TV stand as shown below.  
2. Using commercially available wood screws, secure  
the set firmly in position.  
Unless your Plasma Television is connected to a cable  
TV system or to a centralized antenna system, a good  
outdoor color TV antenna is recommended for best  
performance. However, if you are located in an  
exceptionally good signal area that is free from  
interference and multiple image ghosts,  
Wire  
an indoor antenna may be sufficient.  
LOCATION  
Wood screw  
two places  
Select an area where sunlight or bright indoor  
illumination will not fall directly on the picture screen.  
Also, be sure that the location selected allows a free  
flow of air to and from the perforated back cover of the  
set. In order to prevent an internal temperature  
increase, maintain a space of 10 cm (4 inches) from the  
sides/back of the Television, and 30 cm (12 inches)  
from the top of the television to the wall. To avoid  
cabinet warping, cabinet color changes, and increased  
chance of set failure, do not place the TV where  
temperatures can become excessively hot, for  
example, in direct sunlight or near a heating appliance,  
etc.  
Securing to a Wall  
1. Keep the Plasma television 4 inches away from the  
wall except when mounted using the wall mount  
bracket.  
2. Secure the television to the wall as shown.

NOTES: 1. Do not block the ventilation holes of  
the Plasma Television. Blocking  
the ventilation holes might cause fire  
or defect.  
2. In case of an abnormal symptom,  
unplug the AC cord.  
3. If you purchased the wall mount  
bracket option, please ask for  
professional installer. Do not install  
by yourself.  
TURNING RADIUS  
The maximum turning radius is 30 (left and right). Do  
not place any objects on the path of the TV when turning  
the panel.  
4. Install the unit at a proper area where  
it does not expose anyone to any to the  
danger of hitting themselves (for example  
their hands, head or face, etc.) against  
the edge of the unit and cause personal  
injury.

Rear Panel.  
Refer to the operating guide of your other electronic equipment for additional information on connecting  
your hook-up cables.  
A single VCR can be used for VCR #1 and VCR #2, but note that a VCR cannot record its own video or line  
output (INPUT: 1 in the example on page 14). Refer to your VCR operating guide for more information on  
line input-output connections.  
Connect only 1 component (VCR, DVD player, camcorder, etc.) to each input jack.  
COMPONENT: Y-P P (Input 3, 4 & 5) connections are provided for high performance components, such as  
B R  
DVD players and set-top-boxes. Use these connections in place of the standard video connection if your  
device has this feature.  
Your component outputs may be labeled Y, B-Y, and R-Y. In this case, connect the components B-Y  
output to the TV’s P input and the components R-Y output to the TV’s P input.

unrealistic manner.

8 + General - Not recommended for young children - Programming intended for a broad  
audience but contains light or occasional violence that could disturb young children.

violence or intense violence.

Equipment Care and Troubleshooting  
DO  
DO NOT  
Dust the screen and cabinet with a soft cloth.  
Do not clean your screen with strong cleaners, polishes  
or a chemically treated cloth.  
Clean the screen with a soft cloth moistened in warm  
water and dry with a soft cloth. A mild soap may be  
used if the screen is extremely dirty.  
Do not place rubber or vinyl products or cellophane  
tape on your Plasma Television.  
Place your Plasma Television away from extreme heat,  
humidity, and extremely dusty places.  
Avoid repeatedly touching the screen.  
Do not subject the remote control to shocks such as  
dropping it on the floor, etc. This may cause damage to  
the precision parts.  
Remove the plug from the wall outlet if your Plasma  
Television will not be used for a long period of time, for  
instance, when you go on vacation.  
Avoid placing the remote control in a high humidity  
place or getting it wet. Do not leave it on or near a  
heater. Excessive heat or moisture may cause the unit  
to fail.  
When the batteries run down, remote control operation  
will become erratic or become unresponsive. Replace  
the old batteries with two new “AA” size batteries. Do  
not use an old battery with a new battery.  
Exposing the screen to direct sunlight for a long period  
of time or heat may cause damage to the plasma  
screen.

Reception Problems  
IGNITION NOISE:  
Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, picture may flutter or drift.  
Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps,  
electrical drills, and other electrical appliances.  
GHOSTS:  
Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the  
direct path and the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills or some other  
objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve  
reception. Ghosting may also be caused by defects in the antenna system such  
as unshielded leads or connecting several sets to the same antenna without  
using multiple antenna couplers.  
SNOW:  
If your receiver is located in the fringe area of a television station where the  
signal is weak, your picture may be marred by the appearance of small dots.  
When the signal is extremely weak, it may be necessary to install a special  
antenna to improve the picture.  
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE:  
• RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE:  
The interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks, and in some  
cases, causes loss of contrast in the picture.  
• PREVENTION OF AN OBSTACLE TO RADIO RECEIVERS  
This television has been designed pursuant to the FCC class B Rules. This is to prevent a problem to Radio  
receivers. If this television causes a problem to Radio receivers, then take the following steps:  
- Keep the television away from Radio.  
- Adjust Radio antennas in order for the television not to receive interference.  
- The antenna cable of Radio should be kept away from the television.  
- Use a coaxial cable for antenna.  
You can check if this television influences Radio receivers by turning off all other equipment other than the television.  
If you find a problem receiving Radio when using the television, check the instructions mentioned above.  
BLOCK NOISE (DIGITAL INPUT):  
Fuzzy blocks may appear in some area or the whole area of the screen. This is  
usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps,  
electrical drills, ghosting of the image and weak signals.  
BLACK SCREEN:  
When using an antenna, weak signals will display a black screen. It may be  
necessary to upgrade your antenna.  
NOTE: The TV set can generate sound distortion in external devices such as a radio. Please separate radio  
61  
equipment from the TV set to a considerable distance.  
Troubleshooting  
No.

Items  
Notes  
A buzzing sound may be heard when the plasma television is turned on in a very quiet  
room. This is due to the plasma panel drive circuit when it is functioning. The buzzing  
sound is normal and is not a malfunction.  
Some infrared rays are emitted from the plasma television panel that might affect the  
operation of other infrared controlling equipment.

Infrared interference  
Bright and dark spots  
Picture Image  
High precision technology is used to manufacture the plasma television. But there  
maybe points that do not illuminate, points that are too bright, and points with color  
different from that of the periphery. Please note that this is not a malfunction.  
In some cases, residual images may remain after the short term display of still images  
when the picture changes.  
The plasma display panel display images by means of electrical discharges inside the  
panel. This may cause the temperature of the panel surface to increase. Please note that  
this is not a malfunction.  
A reinforced glass filter is installed over the plasma panel surface. A strong impact to  
the front panel risk a danger of glass breakage.  
Please transport the plasma television in it's packing box and placed in an upright  
position. Do not transport the plasma television in a horizontal position. This increases  
the posibility of panel breakage and pixel failure.  
When a screen is seen at point-blank range, a random fine grain may be visible in the  
dark areas of the picture.  
High temperature affect the electric discharge/luminescence characteristic of the PDP  
panel. Do not place the plasma television in high temperature environments.  
Operating altitude: 800 to 1,114hPa (6,194ft to -2,484ft). Operating temperature: 41˚F  
to 95˚F.  
Storage altitude: 300 to 1,114hPa (31,912ft to -2,484ft). Storage temperature: 5˚F to  
140˚F  
Repeatedly turning the plasma television Power ON and OFF at short intervals may  
result in failure of the television.

to install or use any Upgrade, your installation and use of such  
Upgrade and/or any other software or intellectual property  
HITACHI may provide in connection therewith shall be governed by  
the terms and conditions of this Agreement, except to the extent  
that HITACHI provides different or supplementary license terms or  
conditions that accompany such Upgrade or other software or  
intellectual property. In the event HITACHI provides you with a  
“flash card” or other media to effect or facilitate an Upgrade, you  
understand and acknowledge that your failure to return such flash  
card or other media to HITACHI as HITACHI may require could  
result in HITACHI placing your name and your DTV’s serial number  
on a “No Further Upgrades” list, which will prohibit you from  
receiving any subsequent Upgrades HITACHI may later release or  
make available. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL THE TERMS  
AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ALL THE TERMS  
AND CONDITIONS OF ANY DIFFERENT OR SUPPLEMENTARY  
LICENSE THAT MAY ACCOMPANY SUCH UPGRADE, (A) DO NOT  
USE ANY HITACHI-PROVIDED FLASH CARD OR OTHER MEDIA,

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2, June 1991  
Copyright © 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.  
51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA  
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.  
(Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term  
"modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".  
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are  
not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act  
of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the  
Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based  
on the Program (independent of having been made by running  
the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program  
does.  
Preamble  
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your  
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General  
Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share  
and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all  
its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free  
Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose  
authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation  
software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License  
instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.  
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's  
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that  
you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an  
appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep  
intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence  
of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a  
copy of this License along with the Program.  
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not  
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure  
that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and  
charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code  
or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use  
pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do  
these things.  
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,  
and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange  
for a fee.  
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid  
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the  
rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for  
you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.  
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any  
portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and  
copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms  
of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these  
conditions:  
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether  
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that  
you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get  
the source code. And you must show them these terms so they  
know their rights.  
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent  
notices stating that you changed the files and the date of  
any change.  
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software,  
and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to  
copy, distribute and/or modify the software.  
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that  
in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program  
or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge  
to all third parties under the terms of this License.  
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make  
certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this  
free software. If the software is modified by someone else and  
passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is  
not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not  
reflect on the original authors' reputations.  
c) If the modified program normally reads commands  
interactively when run, you must cause it, when started  
running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to  
print or display an announcement including an appropriate  
copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or  
else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may  
redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling  
the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if  
the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print  
such an announcement, your work based on the Program is  
not required to print an announcement.)  
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software  
patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free  
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making  
the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear  
that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not  
licensed at all.  
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and  
modification follow.  
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If  
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,  
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate  
works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply  
to those sections when you distribute them as separate works.  
But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole  
which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the  
whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for  
other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and  
every part regardless of who wrote it.  
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE  
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING,  
DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION  
0. This License applies to any program or other work which  
contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may  
be distributed under the terms of this General Public License.  
The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work,  
and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program  
or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a  
work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim  
or with modifications and/or translated into another language.  
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest  
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is  
to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or  
collective works based on the Program.  
69  
End User License Agreement for Operating System Software  
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the  
Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program)  
on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the  
other work under the scope of this License.  
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent  
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),  
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement  
or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they  
do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you  
cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations  
under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a  
consequence you may not distribute the Program at all.  
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on  
it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the  
terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of  
the following:  
For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free  
redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies  
directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could  
satisfy both it and this License would be torefrain entirely from  
distribution of the Program. If any portion of this section is held  
invalid or unenforceable underany particular circumstance, the  
balance of the section is intended toapply and the section as a  
whole is intended to apply in othercircumstances.  
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-  
readable source code, which must be distributed under the  
terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily  
used for software interchange; or,  
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three  
years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than  
your cost of physically performing source distribution, a  
complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding  
source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections  
1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software  
interchange; or,  
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any  
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of  
any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting  
the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is  
implemented by public license practices. Many people have made  
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed  
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that  
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing  
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee  
cannot impose that choice.  
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to  
the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This  
alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution  
and only if you received the program in object code  
or executable form with such an offer, in accord with  
Subsection b above.)  
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed  
to be a consequence of the rest of this License.  
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work  
for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete  
source code means all the source code for all modules it contains,  
plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used  
to control compilation and installation of the executable. However,  
as a special exception, the source code distributed need not  
include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or  
binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so  
on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless  
that component itself accompanies the executable.  
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in  
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces,  
the original copyright holder who places the Program under this  
License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation  
excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in  
or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License  
incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.  
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or  
new versions of the General Public License from time to time.  
Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,  
but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.  
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering  
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent  
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as  
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not  
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.  
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the  
Program specifies a version number of this License which applies  
to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the  
terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version  
published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does  
not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any  
version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.  
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the  
Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any  
attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the  
Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under  
this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights,  
from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated  
so long as such parties remain in full compliance.  
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free  
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the  
author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted  
by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software  
Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision  
will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all  
derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and  
reuse of software generally.  
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not  
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify  
or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions  
are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore,  
by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on  
the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to  
do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or  
modifying the Program or works based on it.  
NO WARRANTY  
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based  
on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license  
from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program  
subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any  
further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted  
herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third  
parties to this License.  
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF  
CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM,  
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT  
WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT  
HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM  
"AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER  
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED  
70  
End User License Agreement for Operating System Software  
TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND  
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK  
AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM  
IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE,  
YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,  
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.  
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer)  
or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the  
program, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:  
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the  
program `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers)  
written by James Hacker.  
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE  
LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT  
HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY  
AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED  
ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING  
ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL  
DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO  
USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO  
LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE  
OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A  
FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER  
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS  
BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.  
<signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989  
Ty Coon, President of Vice  
This General Public License does not permit incorporating  
your program into proprietary programs. If your program is a  
subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit  
linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you  
want to do, use the GNU Library General Public License instead  
of this License.  
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS  
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs  
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the  
greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this  
is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and  
change under these terms.  
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest  
to attach them to the start of each source le to most effectively  
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at  
least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is  
found.  
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what  
it does.>  
Copyright © <year> <name of author>  
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or  
modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License  
as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version  
2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.  
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,  
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied  
warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A  
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public  
License for more details.  
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public  
License along with this program; if not, write to the Free  
Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston,  
MA 02110-1301 USA  
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and  
paper mail.  
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this  
when it starts in an interactive mode:  
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright © year name of author  
Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY;  
for details type `show w'. This is free software, and you are  
welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type `show  
c' for details.  
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show  
the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course,  
the commands you use may be called something other than `show  
w' and `show c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--  
whatever suits your program.

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2.1, February 1999  
Copyright © 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA  
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.  
[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence  
the version number 2.1.]  
When a program is linked with a library, whether statically  
or using a shared library, the combination of the two is legally  
speaking a combined work, a derivative of the original library. The  
ordinary General Public License therefore permits such linking  
only if the entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The  
Lesser General Public License permits more lax criteria for linking  
other code with the library.  
Preamble  
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your  
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General  
Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share  
and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all  
its users.  
This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some  
specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of  
the Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to  
use it. You can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully  
about whether this license or the ordinary General Public License  
is the better strategy to use in any particular case, based on the  
explanations below.  
We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License  
because it does Less to protect the user's freedom than the  
ordinary General Public License. It also provides other free  
software developers Less of an advantage over competing non-  
free programs. These disadvantages are the reason we use the  
ordinary General Public License for many libraries. However,  
the Lesser license provides advantages in certain special  
circumstances.  
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom  
of use, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to  
make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free  
software (and charge for this service if you wish); that you receive  
source code or can get it if you want it; that you can change the  
software and use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you  
are informed that you can do these things.  
For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to  
encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it  
becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs  
must be allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a  
free library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries.  
In this case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free  
software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.  
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid  
distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender  
these rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities  
for you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.  
In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-  
free programs enables a greater number of people to use a large  
body of free software. For example, permission to use the GNU  
C Library in non-free programs enables many more people to use  
the whole GNU operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/  
Linux operating system.  
For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis  
or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we  
gave you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get  
the source code. If you link other code with the library, you must  
provide complete object files to the recipients, so that they can  
relink them with the library after making changes to the library and  
recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so they know  
their rights.  
Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of  
the users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that  
is linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to  
run that program using a modified version of the Library.  
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and  
modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between  
a "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library".  
The former contains code derived from the library, whereas the  
latter must be combined with the library in order to run.  
We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright  
the library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal  
permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.  
To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that  
there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is  
modied by someone else and passed on, the recipients should  
know that what they have is not the original version, so that the  
original author's reputation will not be affected by problems that  
might be introduced by others.  
GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE  
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING,  
DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION  
0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or  
other program which contains a notice placed by the copyright  
holder or other authorized party saying it may be distributed under  
the terms of this Lesser General Public License (also called "this  
License"). Each licensee is addressed as "you".  
Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence  
of any free program. We wish to make sure that a company  
cannot effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining  
a restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that  
any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be  
consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.  
A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data  
prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs  
(which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.  
Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the  
ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU  
Lesser General Public License, applies to certain designated  
libraries, and is quite different from the ordinary General Public  
License. We use this license for certain libraries in order to permit  
linking those libraries into non-free programs.  
The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work  
which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on  
the Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under  
copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a  
portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated

straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation  
is included without limitation in the term "modification".)  
to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or  
collective works based on the Library.  
"Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work  
for making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code  
means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any  
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control  
compilation and installation of the library.  
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the  
Library with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on  
a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the  
other work under the scope of this License.  
3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General  
Public License instead of this License to a given copy of the  
Library. To do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this  
License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public  
License, version 2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version  
than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has  
appeared, then you can specify that version instead if you wish.)  
Do not make any other change in these notices.  
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are  
not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of  
running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output  
from such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a  
work based on the Library (independent of the use of the Library  
in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the  
Library does and what the program that uses the Library does.  
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's  
complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided  
that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy  
an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep  
intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence  
of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with  
the Library.  
Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for  
that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to  
all subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.  
This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of  
the Library into a program that is not a library.  
4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or  
derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable  
form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that  
you accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-  
readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms  
of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for  
software interchange.  
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,  
and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange  
for a fee.  
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any  
portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and  
copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms  
of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these  
conditions:  
If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy  
from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy  
the source code from the same place satisfies the requirement  
to distribute the source code, even though third parties are not  
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.  
a) The modified work must itself be a software library.  
b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent  
notices stating that you changed the files and the date of  
any change.  
5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the  
Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled  
or linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such  
a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and  
therefore falls outside the scope of this License.  
c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no  
charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.  
d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a  
table of data to be supplied by an application program that  
uses the facility, other than as an argument passed when  
the facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith  
effort to ensure that, in the event an application does not  
supply such function or table, the facility still operates, and  
performs whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful.  
(For example, a function in a library to compute square  
roots has a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent  
of the application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that  
any application-supplied function or table used by this  
function must be optional: if the application does not supply  
it, the square root function must still compute square roots.)  
However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library  
creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because  
it contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses  
the library". The executable is therefore covered by this License.  
Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.  
When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header  
file that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be  
a derivative work of the Library even though the source code is  
not. Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can  
be linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The  
threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.  
If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data  
structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small  
inline functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the  
object file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a  
derivative work. (Executables containing this object code plus  
portions of the Library will still fall under Section 6.)  
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If  
dentifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,  
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate  
works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply  
to those sections when you distribute them as separate works.  
But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole  
which is a work based on the Library, the distribution of the whole  
must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other  
licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every  
part regardless of who wrote it.  
Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may  
distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section  
6. Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,  
whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.  
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest  
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is  
6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine  
or link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce  
73  
End User License Agreement for Operating System Software  
a work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that  
work under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit  
modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse  
engineering for debugging such modifications.  
You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work  
that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are  
covered by this License. You must supply a copy of this License.  
If the work during execution displays copyright notices, you must  
include the copyright notice for the Library among them, as well  
as a reference directing the user to the copy of this License. Also,  
you must do one of these things:  
the Sections above.  
b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact  
that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining  
where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the  
same work.  
8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute  
the Library except as expressly provided under this License.  
Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or  
distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your  
rights under this License. However, parties who have received  
copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have  
their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full  
compliance.  
a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding  
machine-readable source code for the Library including  
whatever changes were used in the work (which must be  
distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work  
is an executable linked with the Library, with the complete  
machine-readable "work that uses the Library", as object  
code and/or source code, so that the user can modify the  
Library and then relink to produce a modified executable  
containing the modified Library. (It is understood that  
the user who changes the contents of definitions files in  
the Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the  
application to use the modified definitions.)  
9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not  
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify  
or distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are  
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore,  
by modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on  
the Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do  
so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or  
modifying the Library or works based on it.  
b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with  
the Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at  
run time a copy of the library already present on the user's  
computer system, rather than copying library functions into  
the executable, and (2) will operate properly with a modified  
version of the library, if the user installs one, as long as the  
modified version is interface-compatible with the version  
that the work was made with.  
10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on  
the Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the  
original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library  
subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any  
further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted  
herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third  
parties with this License.  
11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of  
patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent  
issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order,  
agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this  
License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this  
License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously  
your obligations under this License and any other pertinent  
obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the  
Library at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit  
royalty-free redistribution of the Library by all those who receive  
copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you  
could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely  
from distribution of the Library.  
c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least  
three years, to give the same user the materials specified in  
Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of  
performing this distribution.  
d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy  
from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy  
the above specified materials from the same place.  
e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these  
materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.  
For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses  
the Library" must include any data and utility programs needed  
for reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special  
exception, the materials to be distributed need not include  
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary  
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of  
the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that  
component itself accompanies the executable.  
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under  
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended  
to apply, and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other  
circumstances.  
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any  
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of  
any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting  
the integrity of the free software distribution system which is  
implemented by public license practices. Many people have made  
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed  
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that  
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing  
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee  
cannot impose that choice.  
It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license  
restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally  
accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means  
you cannot use both them and the Library together in an  
executable that you distribute.  
7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on  
the Library side-by-side in a single library together with other  
library facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such  
a combined library, provided that the separate distribution of the  
work based on the Library and of the other library facilities is  
otherwise permitted, and provided that you do these two things:  
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is  
believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.  
12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in  
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces,  
the original copyright holder who places the Library under this  
License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation  
excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in  
a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same  
work based on the Library, uncombined with any other  
library facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of  
74  
End User License Agreement for Operating System Software  
or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License  
incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or  
new versions of the Lesser General Public License from time  
to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present  
version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or  
concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  
If the Library specifies a version number of this License which  
applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of  
following the terms and conditions either of that version or of  
any later version published by the Free Software Foundation.  
If the Library does not specify a license version number, you  
may choose any version ever published by the Free Software  
Foundation.

14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free  
programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with  
these, write to the author to ask for permission. For software  
which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the  
Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for  
this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the  
free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting  
the sharing and reuse of software generally.  
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and  
paper mail.  
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer)  
or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the  
library, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: Yoyodyne,  
Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the library `Frob' (a  
library for tweaking knobs) written by James Random Hacker.  
NO WARRANTY  
15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF  
CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO  
THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT  
WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT  
HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY  
"AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER  
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED  
TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND

YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,  
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES  
ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE  
LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA  
OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES  
SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF  
THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE),  
EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN  
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.  
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS  
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries  
If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest  
possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software  
that everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by  
permitting redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under  
the terms of the ordinary General Public License).  
To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library.  
It is safest to attach them to the start of each source le to most  
effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should  
have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full  
notice is found.
