TELETEXT
y This feature is not available in all countries.
Teletext is a free service broadcast by most TV sta-
tions which gives up-to-the minute information on news,
weather, television programmes, share prices and many
other topics.
The teletext decoder of this monitor can support the
SIMPLE and FASTEXT systems. SIMPLE (standard tele-
text) consists of a number of pages which are selected
by directly entering the corresponding page number.
FASTEXT are more modern methods allowing quick and
easy selection of teletext information.

rent page displayed.

ous mode reappears.
