FAQs
Is the entire Garrett Ace Apex waterproof?
Only the 6x11-inch Viper searchcoil is fully waterproof. The control box is weather-resistant but should not be submerged in water.
Can I use wired headphones with the Apex?
Yes, there is a 1/8-inch jack located on the back of the control box for wired headphone use.
How do I update the detector firmware?
The Apex can be updated by connecting it to a computer via the provided USB cable and using the official Garrett update software.
What is the primary benefit of the Viper searchcoil?
The Viper coil is designed to provide the coverage of a larger 11-inch coil while maintaining the target separation accuracy of a smaller 6-inch coil.
How long does it take to charge the battery?
The integrated lithium-ion battery typically reaches a full charge in approximately 3 to 4 hours.
Troubleshooting
Device displays erratic signals in the air.
Ensure you are away from large metal structures or power lines. Try lowering the sensitivity setting.
Headphones will not connect via Z-Lynk.
Ensure your Z-Lynk compatible headphones are in pairing mode and within close proximity to the control unit during the initial sync.
Battery life seems shorter than expected.
Ensure the LCD backlight is set to a lower brightness level and verify that all software updates have been completed via the USB port.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure the battery is fully charged using the provided USB connection. Assemble the rod system and connect the 6x11-inch Viper coil, ensuring the connector is threaded correctly to maintain the waterproof seal. The control box features an intuitive menu structure; use the mode button to toggle between Zero, Coins, US Coins, Jewelry, Relics, and Custom presets. For maintenance, rinse the searchcoil with fresh water after use in saltwater to prevent corrosion. Periodically wipe the control unit with a soft, damp cloth and ensure the USB charging port cover is securely sealed before bringing the device near water.
