A telecommunication terminal comprising at least one microprocessor (MIP), an input device (TAS) with keys that can be illuminated and an optical and/or acoustic display (ANZ). The microprocessor has a menu structure with options that can be called and/or modified by a user via an input, in addition to a memory table (LIS) with key words. Each key word is allocated to an option. The key words of the memory table can be selected using an input (TAS). The option can be immediately called and/or modified by the user and once the key word has been selected and confirmed, the individual steps leading to the allocated option contained in the menu structure are displayed by illuminating the next key of the input device that is to be pressed until said key is pressed.
