Frame numbers for Z1B don't start with a zero. See here for more info on model numbers:

So all the numbers in the handbook are wrong they have a prefix 0 that they shouldn't have and since October 2013 no-one has noticed up until now?

Obviously virtually nobody reads the bloody thing why do we bother. ZPower's site is wrong too then because that was where the numbers in the handbook came from.
