Abstract

L'invention concerne un appareil électronique pour communiquer avec un appareil radio mobile, en particulier un téléphone mobile, par exemple un portable, comportant un logiciel de communication qui est déposé dans une mémoire et peut être interrogé et commandé par l'intermédiaire d'un clavier (10). Ce logiciel comporte au moins un menu qui présente des caractéristiques et/ou des fonctions de l'appareil radio mobile, lequel est établi par ledit logiciel de communication et peut être affiché sur un écran (13) dudit appareil. Selon l'invention, il est prévu, pour l'activation directe de la communication entre l'appareil électronique et un appareil radio mobile, que le clavier (10) comporte une touche (14) à câblage fixe pour l'appel direct du menu.
