Main extension key or Directory Number (DN) key
The lower right-hand key is the main extension key, also known as a Directory Number (DN) key. When
you pick up the handset, the line associated with this key is ready for you to make a call. You may have
more than one DN key assigned to your telephone. (This does not apply to the M2006 since it only
supports one line.)

The Message Waiting light turns on to indicate that a message has been left for you.
