Installation Options
Vehicle Installation Option
1.
Attach the Mounting Bracket to the vehicle's
dashboard.
• Clean the area where the bracket is to be
mounted with the alcohol wipe included.
Allow the area to dry.
• Peel the backing to expose the adhesive
and press the bracket onto the desired
location on the dashboard. NOTE: Be
sure the tab is positioned vertically.
• Allow the adhesive to cure for 24 hours
before you attach the Sleek (Step 4
).
2. Install the Outside Antenna. Select a
location on top
of
the carthat is:
• Nearthe center
of
the vehicle's roof.
•
At
least 12 inches from any other
antennas.
• Free
of
obstructions.
• At least 6 inches from any windows
(including sunroofs).
The Outside Antenna must be installed
vertically.
3. Run the OutsideAntenna cable into the car.
The cable is strong enough that it may be
shut
in
mostvehicle doors without damaging
the cable.
For
a cleaner look, carefully pull
down the door seal, run the cable underthe
seal, and push the seal back into place. This
method reduces wear on the cable as the
door opens and closes.
4. Attach the Sleek to the Mounting Bracket.
Afterwaiting 24 hours for the adhesive on
the bracket
to
cure, attach the Sleek by
aligning the rectangular hole on the back
of
the Sleek with the tab on the Mounting
Bracket, grasping the sides
of
the Sleek,
and sliding it downward approximately %
inch into place.
The Mounting Bracket is designed to
swivel for more convenient viewing angles.
Once the Sleek is
in
place, you can adjust
the angle ofthe bracket by loosening the
knurled nut, applying gentle pressure to
the top or bottom
of
the Sleek, and then
tightening the nutwhen the desired angle is
achieved.
5.
Attach the antenna to the Sleek. Connect
the cable from the OutsideAntenna to the
antenna connector
on
the bottom
of
the
Sleek. Do NOT plug
in
the power supply
(next step) until the Outside Antenna cable
is connected to the Sleek.
Note: The Sleek has a convenient mini-USB
charging port located on the right side
of
your booster. This port allows for
charging your phone or device. Wilson
offers several cables for this purpose
• 859966, mini-USB to mini-USB
• 859979, mini-USB to iPhone (up to 4S)
• 859967, mini-USB to micro-USB

In-Building Installation Option
Note:
Home
Office
Accessory
Kit
sold
separately
1. Install
the
Outside
Antenna to a
window
.
For
best
results:
•
Select
a
window
on
the
side
of
the
building
where
you
get
the strongest cell
signal.
• Attach
the
suction
cup
bracket (sold
separately)
to
the inside
of
a
window
so
the
cable
will reach
the
location
of
the
Mounting
Bracket
and Sleek. Place
the
bracket
as
high
on
the
window
as
possible.
NOTE: Many
modem
energy efficient dual
pane windows
use
a metal coating that
may
decrease the strength
of
a cellular signal,
reducing
the
effectiveness
of
the Sleek.
If
you
have dual pane windows, consider a Wilson
Electronics signal boost productthat provides
an option for mounting an antenna on an
outside wall
or
roof
of
a building.
• With
the
bracket
in place, attach
the
2.
magnet
base
of
the
antenna
to
the
flat
surface
of
the
bracket.
The
antenna
must
be mounted vertically
for
the
best signal.
Install the Mounting Bracket and Sleek.
Put yourSleek in the Mounting Bracket (see
instructions underVehicle Installation) and
place it
in
a convenient location such as a
desk
or
table top
in
the room where you will
use
the phone. The location should be
at
least
three feet from the OutsideAntenna to avoid
oscillation (feedback).Your cell phone must
be
in
the cradle forthe Sleek to amplify the
signal. Use a Bluetooth headset, wired hands-
free device
or
speakerphone for talking on the
phone.
3. Attach
the
antenna
to
the
Sleek.
Connect
the
cable
from
the
Outside
Antenna
to
the
antenna
connector
on
the
bottom
of
the
Sleek
.
Do
NOT
plug in
the
power
supply
(next
step) until the Outside Antenna
cable
is connected
to
the
Sleek
.
4.
Power
up
your
Sleek.
Connect
the
power
cable
to the mini-USB port
on
the
bottom
of
the
Sleek. Then insert
the
adapter
into the
AC
power
supply (859969), sold separately.
Use
only
the
supplied Wilson Electronics
power
supply.

Adjusting the Sleek Arms
Various sized arms are included with your Sleek.
These provide you with options to customize the
Sleek to fit virtually any cell phone.
•
To
change arms, gently lift the arm
upward until the arm slides free from the
Sleek.
•
To
reposition arms, move the arm above
a different slot on the Sleek and gently
slide the arm down until the arm is firmly
in place.
Troubleshooting &Understanding
the Light
The light on the side ofthe Sleek indicates
whether the system is working
or
if
there are
problems. Take the following steps based on the
indicator light color when using the Sleek.

u
r-
II
~
Light
off:
If the light is not on:
• Check connections
on
the power supply
to see that it is firmly plugged into both
the Sleek and the power source.
• If using a DC power supply
in
your
vehicle, ensure the power supply is
properly inserted. Then check the 12 volt
power from the car socket and the fuse.
Replace the fuse if necessary.
• If using a power strip
in
a building,
ensure the power strip is plugged
in
and
turned on and that power is coming from
the outlet.
Red
light:
An
red light indicates the Sleek
has powered down to protect the cell tower.
Separation between the Sleek and the Outside
Antenna is important to prevent oscillation
(feedback), similar to when a microphone is too
close to a speaker. When oscillation occurs,
the Sleek shuts down
in
order to prevent
interference in the cell tower.
Ifthe light is red, move the Outside Antenna
farther away from the Sleek. On a vehicle, that
usually means moving it farther toward the back
of
the car. Remember to keep the antenna at
least 6 inches from any window or sunroof.
In
an office, move the location
of
the Sleek
farther from the window where the antenna is
mounted. Once you have separated the Outside
Antenna and the Sleek, reset the Sleek by
disconnecting the power and then reconnecting
the power supply. Ifthe light is green, the Sleek
is working properly. Ifthe red light is still on,
move the Outside Antenna farther away and
repeat the process.
Green
light:
A green light indicates the Sleek is
working properly.

Additional FAQ:
What hours can I contact tech support?
Technical

How does weather affect the performance
of
my Outside Antenna?
Water
vapor
(e.g.
rain,
fog,
snow
or
other
precipitation)
creates
an
effective
filter
to
cellular
signal.
In
times
of
heavy
precipitation,
you
may
see
less
performance.
What's the difference between the 800 MHz and the 1900 MHz bands? How do I know which MHz band
my cell phone uses?
The
Sleek
works
with
all
major
North
American
cellular
providers
on
the
800 &1900 MHz
frequencies.
Traditionally,
800/1900MHz are
associated
with
voice
and
3G
data;
while
700MHz
and
1700/21
OOMHz
are
associated
with
4G
data.

Each Signal Booster is individuallytested and factory set to ensure FCC compliance. The Signal Booster cannot be adjusted without factory
reprogramming
or disabling the hardware. The Signal Boosterwill amplify, but notalter incoming and outgoing signals in order to increase
coverage
of authorized frequency bands only. Ifthe 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 ifthe Signal Boosterdetects an oscillation, the Signal Booster will automatically tum the
power off
on that band. For a detected oscillation the Signal Boosterwill 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.
