Backup battery

I believe that is your backup battery icon. It appears when the lithium button battery is low on charge or not inserted. The backup battery keeps your date, time and other settings when your power source is disconnected. None was shipped with my ZR200. I was able to get it from Radio Shack and I believe you can get ir from any tech store. Just ask for CR1616 lithium button battery.
