Hours: 7 am to 6 pm MST.NOTE: The cell phone must be placed in the cradle to work properly. Warning: DO NOT use phone covers that have chrome or any other metallic surface. It may block cellular signals.The Outside Antenna must be installed vertically. Antenna performance will be degraded if the antenna is not vertical.The antenna cable is small yet strong enough that it may be shut in most vehicle doors without damaging the cable.For a more professional looking installation, run the antenna cable under the door seal. Carefully pull down the door seal. Run the cable under the seal and push the seal back into place. This prevents constant wear and tear on the cable as the door opens and closes. The antenna cable is small enough to easily tuck under the door seal or plastic molding.Mini-Magnet Mount Antenna ShownCarefullyPull DownDoor SealRun CableUnder SealVehicle Installation1. Install the Outside AntennaTo receive the best cell signal, select a location for the Outside Antenna that is preferably in the center of the vehicle’s roof, 12 inches away from any other antennas, free of obstructions, and at least 6 inches from the rear or side windows or sunroof.GeneralYour Wilson Electronics Sleek has been carefully engineered to signicantly improve the performance of your phone. Together with an Outside Antenna, the Sleek’s state-of-the-art circuitry is designed to increase your phone’s signal to and from the cell tower. The Sleek reduces disconnects and dropouts and increases data communication rates on 2G, 3G networks and 4G networks (in some models). How it WorksWith the phone in the cradle and while using a wireless Bluetooth™ headset (or hands free device) the Outside Antenna collects the cell tower signal and sends it through the cable to the Sleek. The signal is then boosted by the Sleek and sent to the phone. When the phone transmits, the signal is picked up wirelessly and boosted by the Sleek and transmitted back to the cell tower through the Outside Antenna.Vehicle Installation DiagramSleek boosts signal to and from cell towerOutside Antenna communicates with cell towerSleek w/phoneSleek w/phone

Attach the Mounting BracketA mounting bracket is provided for attaching the Sleek to your vehicle’s dash. Other options are also available from Wilson Electronics. 3. Attach the Sleek® to the BracketOnce you have installed the bracket in the desired location, and waited 24 hours for adhe-sive to cure, attach the Sleek by aligning the rectangular hole on its back with the tab on the mount bracket, grasping the sides of the Sleek, and sliding it downward approximately ¼ inch into place. Once the cradle is attached, you can adjust the angle of the adhesive bracket by applying gentle pressure to the top or bottom of the Sleek. The bracket is designed to swivel when the knurled nut is loosened for greater adjustability of the Sleek viewing angle. To lock bracket into position, tighten large nut. ADHESIVE BRACKET- Included in this package1. Clean the area where the bracket is to be mounted with the supplied alcohol wipe. Allow to dry.2. Peel the backing to expose the adhesive and press the bracket onto the desired location in the vehicle. Note: Be sure the tab is positioned vertically, not horizontally.3. Allow the adhesive to cure for 24 hours before you attach the Sleek.Power up the Wilson Electronics Sleek® Accessory port to power your phone, some adapters available through Wilson Electronics at 866-294-1660. (See Figure 2)Connect the mini-USB plug on the power cable to the Sleek’s mini USB port located on the bottom of the Sleek and insert the adapter into the vehicle power adapter of your vehicle. The Sleek may remain on all the time. However, leaving the Sleek on in a vehicle when it is not running can discharge the battery in a day or two.Note: The 12V DC power source on many vehicles is shut off with the ignition key. Warning: Use only the supplied Wilson Electronics power supply. Warning: Make sure the Outside Antenna cable is connected before powering up the Sleek.4. Attach the Outside Antenna cable to the Sleek®Attach the cable from the Outside Antenna to the antenna connector on the Sleek. (See Figure 1)Accessory USB Power port Figure 2Sleek Power port.

Hours: 7 am to 6 pm MST.Adjusting the Sleek® ArmsIncluded with your Sleek are various sized arms, which will provide you with multiple options to customize the Sleek to t your phone.1. Change armsGently grab the arm and lift upward until the arm slides free from the Sleek.2. Reposition armsPosition the arm above a different slot on the Sleek (indicated by the yellow in the drawing). Gently slide the arm down until the arm is rmly in place.NOTE: The cell phone must be placed in the Sleek to work properly. Use a Bluetooth™ or wired hands free device.Green light is on : Sleek is operating properly.SYMPTOM: No light, or light always off 1. Make sure that the power supply for the Sleek is functioning properly, by making sure the light located on the power supply is lit.2. If the DC plug-in power supply is properly inserted, but the plug’s light doesn’t come on, then check the 12 volt power from the car socket, and check the fuse in the DC plug-in power supply.Understanding the Sleek® Lights Separation of the Sleek and the Outside Antenna is very important. In a vehicle, the metal roof acts as a barrier and helps shield the two antennas from each other, preventing oscillation (feedback).Oscillation can occur when the roof mounted antenna is too close to the Sleek inside the vehicle. An oscillation (or feedback) in the Sleek is similar to when a microphone is too close to a speaker in a sound system, resulting in a loud whistle. An oscillation in the Sleek, if allowed to occur, can affect nearby cell towers’ ability to handle calls.Sleek® SYMPTOM: Red light is onIf the light is red, the Sleek has powered down to protect the cell tower. See section above “Separation of Sleek and the Outside Antenna is very important.” If the light turns red, the Sleek has powered down to protect the cell tower from oscillation. The red light indicates the outside roof mounted antenna needs to be moved farther from the Sleek. In a vehicle installation, move the Outside Antenna on the roof of the car farther to the rear of the car, but at least 6 inches from the rear or side windows or sunroof. To reset the Sleek, disconnect and reconnect the power supply. If the light is now green, the Sleek is working properly. If the red light is still on, move the Outside Antenna farther away and repeat the process.

The Signal Booster cannot be adjusted without factory reprogramming or disabling the hardware. The Signal Booster will amplify, but not alter incoming and outgoing signals in order to increase coverage of authorized frequency bands only. If the Signal Booster is not in use for five minutes, it will reduce gain until a signal is detected. If a detected signal is too high in a frequency band, or if the Signal Booster detects an oscillation, the Signal Booster will automatically turn the power off on that band. For a detected oscillation the Signal Booster will automatically resume normal operation after a minimum of 1 minute. After 5 (five) such automatic restarts, any problematic bands are permanently shut off until the Signal Booster has been manually restarted by momentarily removing power from the Signal Booster. Noise power, gain, and linearity are maintained by the Signal Booster’s microprocessor. 30-Day Money-Back GuaranteeAll Wilson Electronics products are protected by Wilson Electronics 30-day money-back guarantee.
