Jump it from a good battery, like from your car, WITHOUT THE CAR ENGINE ON, or you will fry the electronics on the GZ from the car's alternator output.
If it starts and runs, then try charging up the battery overnight. If it still dies, get the battery load tested after you charge it again. If it's no good, get a new battery and make sure YOU CHARGE IT UP OVERNIGHT FIRST, before using it, or it will fail real quick and you'll be right back where you started from.
You can also see if the battery is dead or real weak if the headlight dims way down or dies as soon as you hit the start button - you may not have enough juice to turn over the starter. I think this thing draws something like 80 amps if I remember correctly reading that somewhere.
