1996 E320 Radio Displays "Phone" Need help

Someone in the family switched the rear light on and did not turn it off so the battery ran down. I jumped it and all is well but had to recode the radio (oe radio/cd/phone) which is no problem, the radio came on the display and then switched to "Phone" on the display

I have long ago removed the phone as smaller cell phones are better, so anyone know how to get "Phone " off the display and get the stereo back to normal? Please?

Figured it out!

Posted for others who run up against the problem......

Gave up and left to do errands and on the way, I thought, it is acting like I am getting a phone call as it mutes the stereo even though I removed the phone. When the phone was connected this would automatically mute radio and display "Phone". Well, either pop out the phone display unit and unplug or remove the fuse. I decided to remove the fuse and whalla! Still have the small icon in the right corner but at least the stereo works.
