“Fastext” or FLOF
The Fastext facility (also known as
FLOF = Full Level One Feature) is a
facility provided by some Teletext
broadcasters. It enables the user to
step directly to any one of four
different pages linked to the page,
currently on the screen.
This facility reduces access time to
these instant access pages to almost
zero. At the same time, it helps the
user find a logical path through the
multiplicity of available Teletext
pages.
If you select a page with Fastext, you
will see a colour bar in the upper right-
hand corner of the screen. The colour
bar only appears if the Teletext broad-
caster is providing the Fastext facility.
The colour bar is made up of four
different colours. The coloured
buttons on Beo4 correspond to these
colours, use the buttons on Beo4 to
call up the page of your choice: Red,
green, yellow, or blue.
