They are saying that you need to turn the ignition ON with the radio ON and wait. Usually 1 or 2 hours (never heard of 24 being required), the radio will eventually go back to saying CODE. THEN make sure you have the correct code, then enter it. Don't guess at the code. (The comment about the battery charger means you might want to put a charger on the battery, as it might go dead from leaving the key ON for that long)

Check what "benzworldrefuge" is saying, very often you will find the code written down in one of the books, look for some hand-written 4 digit number. We always used to write it on the warranty sheet in the back of the maintenance log.

A call to a Mercedes dealer will often get you the code, they can look it up in the Mercedes computer.
