ABOUT THE SMARTCARD AND CA MODULE
To be able to receive scrambled digital satellite channels you will
need a Smartcard and/or a Common Interface CA (Conditional Ac-
cess) module from the Service Provider of your choice.
The Service Provider is the programme distributor.
If you are subscribing to services from more than one Service
Provider, you might have to change between different Smart-
cards and/or CA modules.
Please note that a Smartcard and CA module may only be valid
for a single Service Provider and due to this, a specific range of
channels.
The Smartcard and the CA module may also provide access to
special menus not described in this manual. If so, please follow
the instructions from the Service Provider.
Only "free to air" channels are available without the Smartcard
and/or the CA Module.
Note: The Smartcard and/or the CA module are distributed by
your Service Provider.
After inserting the card, leave it in the slot permanently. Do not
remove it again, unless your Service Provider asks you to do so.
This is important, because if your Service Provider wants to
download new information to the Smartcard, the card has to be
in the slot.

Pay TV Services with a CA Module

panel of the Mediamaster.
• Press the grey button on the front panel if you need to remove
the CA module.
PIN Code
The Smartcard is loaded with a 4-digit code, also called a PIN code
(Personal Identification Number).
The code is essential in order to access future services offered
by the Service Provider.
