Questions and answers
I have been charging and all I see is a zero on the panel
If the Zooka Sports ZS 720 shows zero on the panel after charging, it may be due to a dead or deeply discharged battery. Ensure the rear panel battery selector switch is set to the INTERNAL battery position, press and hold the ON button until a beep is heard, and release. If the machine still does not turn on, the battery may not have charged properly or may need replacement. Use a volt meter to check if the charger is working correctly.
