Setup
1. Unboxing and Initial Setup
- Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure all accessories are present: the robot vacuum, charging dock, power adapter, side brushes, main brush, dustbin, water tank, and cleaning tool.
- Charging Dock Placement: Place the charging dock against a wall in an open area, ensuring at least 0.5 meters (1.6 feet) of clear space on both sides and 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) in front. Connect the power adapter to the dock and plug it into a power outlet. Ensure the dock is powered on.
- Initial Charge: Place the robot vacuum onto the charging dock. The robot will automatically align and begin charging. For first-time use, fully charge the robot before operation (approximately 4-5 hours).
2. App Download and Connection
- Download the 'Zigma' app from your smartphone's app store (iOS/Android).
- Open the app, register an account, and follow the on-screen instructions to add your Spark 980 robot. Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz for successful connection.

Operating Instructions
1. Basic Operation
- Starting/Pausing Cleaning: Press the power button on the robot or use the 'Start' button in the Zigma app to begin cleaning. Press again to pause. The robot will return to the charging dock automatically when cleaning is complete or battery is low.
- Cleaning Modes: The Zigma app allows selection of various cleaning modes, including Auto Clean, Spot Clean, Edge Clean, and Scheduled Clean. Select the mode best suited for your cleaning needs.
2. Advanced Features
- AI Laser Navigation & Mapping: The Spark 980 uses AI Laser Navigation 4.0 to create a real-time virtual map of your home. During its first cleaning cycle, it will map out your floor plan. This map is saved in the app for future use.
- Multi-Map Management: For multi-story homes, the robot supports storing an unlimited number of maps. You can switch between maps in the app to clean different floors.
- Customizing Cleaning Areas: In the Zigma app, you can define specific rooms, set 'No-Go Zones' (areas the robot should avoid), or create 'Invisible Walls' to restrict access to certain areas.
- Voice Control Integration: Connect your Spark 980 to Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple Siri for convenient voice commands. For example, say "Hey Siri, let Spark clean the living room" to initiate cleaning.
- Mopping Function: To use the mopping function, fill the 360ml water tank with clean water (and a small amount of non-foaming detergent if desired). Attach the mopping pad and install the water tank into the robot. The app allows adjustment of water flow levels and selection of Y-shaped mopping for thorough cleaning.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your Zigma Spark 980. Perform these steps regularly:
- Dustbin and Filter: Empty the 600ml dustbin after each cleaning cycle. Remove the HEPA filter and primary filter, tap them to remove dust, and rinse if necessary (ensure completely dry before re-inserting).
- Main Brush: Regularly remove the main brush and clean any tangled hair or debris. Use the provided cleaning tool to cut and remove hair.
- Side Brushes: Check side brushes for wear or damage. Clean any tangled hair. Replace if bristles are bent or worn out.
- Sensors: Wipe the cliff sensors, wall sensors, and charging contacts with a clean, dry cloth to ensure optimal performance.
- Water Tank and Mopping Pad: After mopping, empty any remaining water from the tank and clean the mopping pad. The pad can be hand-washed or machine-washed.
