The invention relates to a device (100) adapted to take different angular orientations during use. The device (100) comprises a sensor (101) connected to a control unit (102) for determining an angular orientation of the device (100) during use, a user actuator (103) for generating a trigger signal to said control unit (102) for each actuation of the user actuator (103), and an interface (104) for displaying at least one operating mode of said device (100). The control unit (102) is adapted to: - detect, based on the determined angular orientation, that the device (100) is in a predetermined angular orientation, - trigger the successive display on said interface (104) of a different operating mode taken among said at least one operating mode, for each successive trigger signal generated when the device (100) is in said predetermined angular orientation, and - apply to said device (100), the latest operating mode displayed on said interface (104). This solution allows activating a plurality of different operating modes using only one user actuator.
