I think it means the batteries are low. Here's a blurb from the CZ1000 
manual:

"When the batteries begin to wear out, the power indicator will star 
to flash. If this occurs, please replace all 6 dry batteries with new 
ones as soon as possible."

In order to clear any bugs that can occur in the memory during battery 
replacement, be sure to press the P button with a pointed object when 
the time that has elapsed since removal of the old batteries is more 
than 10 minutes. Pressing the P button causes the 16 sounds set in the 
internal memory before shipment to be recalled. At the same time, any 
new tones you have set in the internal memory will be cancelled, so 
please be careful."

(the P button is on the bottom, near the battery compartment.)
