Basic maintenance 

FLX S is designed to be relatively maintenance free, 
however a few simple steps can prolong the life of your 
hardware. 

 

Cleaning the surface 

Every month or so, gently wipe down the front panel with a 
nonabrasive, non-corrosive surface cleaner applied with a 
soft cloth. 

Cleaning the faders 

A can of compressed air can be used to clear our dust 
from the fader tracks. Do NOT use an oil based lubricant 
(such as WD-40) on faders as this will cause irreparable 
damage to your FLX S. 

Transportation & storage 

Care should be taken when transporting FLX S. Flight 
cases are available (

listed under “accessories” on the first 

page of this  guide) for the transportation of FLX S 

– the 

cardboard box which FLX S is supplied in is intended only 
for one or two journeys, and should not be relied upon to 
keep the console safe for prolonged use. 

Operating environments 

Always observe the operating environment information in 
the main FLX S manual. If this environment is exceeded, it 
is likely that damage will occur to your FLX S. To download 
the full manual, please visit

Reporting a problem 

Before reporting a problem to Zero 88, please obtain as 
many of the following pieces of information as possible: 

The console’s current software version 

A copy of the current showfile 

Details of what you were doing at the time, or which 
playback / palette etc is affected. 

If the system has crashed, the console will offer you a 
debug file the next time you turn it on. 

Support requests can be submitted through our support 
forum at 

zero88.com/forum

 or via email to 

[email protected]  

For more urgent requests, please contact Zero 88 by 
telephone on +44 (0)1633 838088 

– 24 hour answer 

service available. 

If you have reported a problem by email or on the forum, 
please bear with us as our response may take a few days 
if your problem is complex. It is also worth checking other 
posts on the forum to see if the fault is already reported / 
fixed before contacting Zero 88. 

If you suspect that your problem is software related, please 
always check that you are running the latest software
