Basic maintenance 

 

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

 

 

 
Internal battery 

The internal battery keeps the console’s time & date 
correct, and requires replacing every 3 - 5 years. The 
console should give you a warning at startup if the battery 
is running low, however it is good practice to replace it 
after this length of time anyway. Please contact a Zero 88 
support agent for details on servicing the console. 

 

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. 

 

Transportation & storage 

Care should be taken when transporting FLX. Zero 88 are 
able to supply flight cases for the transportation of their 
consoles 

– the cardboard box which FLX 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 Technical Specification. If this environment is 
exceeded, it is likely that damage will occur to your FLX.

  

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 

support@zero88.com  
 
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 
version. This can be found at 

zero88.com/software
