The smart card and CA module
General
In order to receive scrambled digital channels, you need a CA module
and a smart card, which can be obtained from a Service Provider.
There are several different CA modules available on the European
market. Each of the CA modules supports a certain kind of encryp-
tion system. The Mediamaste
r supports CA modules that work according to the DVB standard. De-
pending on the channels you might want to watch, your local deal-
er will provide you with the right type of CA module.
Please note that a smart card may only be valid for a single Service
Provider and, therefore, for a specific range of channels.
The smart card and the CA module may display special menus that
are not described in this guide. Follow the instructions you receive
from your Service Provider.
NOTE:
CA modules and smart cards are only distributed by Service
Providers and special distributors, not by Nokia.
After inserting a card, leave it in the slot permanently. Do not re-
move it again, unless you are asked to do so. This is important if
your Service Provider were to want to download new information
to the smart card, as the card has to be in the slot.
Inserting a CA module with a smart card
In the left-hand slot, you can use a CA module and a smart card
from a Service Provider of your choice.

tions provided with the module.
