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
encryption system. The Mediamaster supports CA modules that
work according to the DVB standard. Depending on the channels
you might want to watch, your local dealer 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
remove 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.
The right-hand card slot
The Mediamaster is equipped with a built-in decoder for
Conax encryption.
Completely insert a Conax smart card into the right-hand slot
behind the lid of the front panel of the Mediamaster. The gold chip
must face downwards and inwards.
Only a Conax smart card can be used in this slot.
Inserting a CA module with a smart card
In the left-hand slot, you can use a CA module and a smart card
(also a Conax smart card) from the Service Provider of your
choice.
Insert the CA module and the smart card according to the
instructions provided with the module.
• Press the button to release an inserted CA module.
