Factory Cell Phone issue

The '95 came factory equipped with a cell phone in the armrest which I promptly removed after buying the car. It of course had/has the hands-free feature and the control panel is mounted above the rear-view mirror.

NEVER, ever, ever...until TODAY...have I had any problem whatsoever from this factory option. Today while driving along I had my smartphone in its mount as I was trying to find a location using GPS navigation I suddenly heard a short blast like a dial tone. I thought for whatever reason it came from my wife's or even my own smartphone. A minute or two later it did it again! In the meantime I heard what sounded like my antenna extracting from its location and sure enough, it was! I had not touched my head unit on/off button. I noticed that a light was on in the factory hands free control unit near the rear-view mirror "Service Not Available" or similar.

I cannot figure out how to turn off this thing so that the antenna goes back down! Help, if you have any suggestions!
