    operators provide the CAM when you subscribe to their
    services. Contact a digital TV service operator for more
    information and terms & conditions. Insert a CAM
    Switch off the TV before inserting a CAM.
    Look on the CAM for the correct method of insertion.
    Incorrect insertion can damage the CAM and the TV.

    Gently insert the CAM as far as it will go and leave it in the
    slot permanently.
