General
Your Wilson 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 site. The Sleek™reduces disconnects and
dropouts and increases data communication rates on 2G and 3G networks.
How it Works
With 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 its 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 broadcasted back to the cell tower
via the outside antenna.

2. Attach the Mounting Bracket
A mounting bracket is provided for attaching the Sleek™ to your vehicle’s dash. Other options are also
available from Wilson Electronics.
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, the antenna
cable may be run 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.

Vehicle Installation
1. Install the Outside Antenna
To 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.
RF Safety Warning: The “outside antenna” must be either a Wilson Magnetic-Mount or Mini Magnetic-
Mount antenna and requires at least an 8 inch separation distance from all persons. Other outside
antennas may be used with xed building installations provided that (a) they are located with at least a 30
inch separation distance from all persons, (b) their gain less cable loss does not exceed 15 dBi, and (c)
they are not operating in conjunction with any other antenna or amplier.
ADHESIVE BRACKET- Included in this package
1.Clean the area where the bracket is to be mounted with the alcohol wipe
provided. 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™.
4. 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.

3. Attach the Sleek™ to the Bracket
Once you have installed the bracket in the desired location, and waited 24 hours for adhesive 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.
Adjusting the SleekTM Arms
Included with your Sleek are various sized arms, which will provide you with multiple options
to customize the SleekTM to t your phone.
1. Change arms
Gently grab the arm and lift
upward until the arm breaks
free from the Sleek™.
2. Reposition arms
Position the arm above a different slot on
the SleekTM (indicated by the yellow in the
drawing). Gently slide the arm down until
the arm is rmly in place.
Power up the Wilson Sleek™
IMPORTANT: Make sure the outside antenna cable is
connected before powering up the Sleek™.
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 cigarette lighter outlet 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 power supply.
NOTE: The cell phone must be placed in the Sleek™to work properly. Use a Bluetooth or wired
hands free device.
4. Attach the Outside Antenna cable to the Sleek
Attach the cable from the outside antenna to the antenna connector on
the Sleek.

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.
Installing a Wilson Outside Antenna in a Building
Follow the specic antenna instructions included with the outside antenna (sold separately except for
certain kits). These instructions assume that you are using a Wilson Mini Magnet-Mount Antenna and
the optional suction-cup window bracket.
To receive the best signal, select a window on the side of your building where your outside signal is
the strongest.
Attach the suction-cup bracket to the inside of a window so
that the cable will reach the location of the Sleek™. Place
the bracket as high on the window as possible for best
performance.
Once the bracket is in place, attach the magnet base of the
antenna to the at surface of the bracket. Note: the antenna
must be installed vertically. Signal performance will be
degraded if the antenna is not vertical.
Building Installation
Suction cup Antenna Window Mount is
available from Wilson Electronics.
www.wilsonelectronics.com or call 800-204-4104
SYMPTOM: No increase in Bars
1) Make sure that the antenna connector is tight.
2) The cell phone must be placed in the
Sleek™ cradle to amplify properly.
3) Call Wilson Technical Support at 866-294-1660.
Understanding the SleekTM Lights
Separation of 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.
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 sites’ ability to handle calls.
Warning: DO NOT use phone covers that have chrome or any other metallic surface. It may block cellular signals

The Wilson Sleek™ may be placed in any convenient indoor location, such as a desk or tabletop.
The cell phone must be in the cradle and a Bluetooth® headset used for voice communications.
Attaching the Antenna
Once you have selected the location for the Sleek™, run the cable from the outside antenna and
attach it to the SMA connector on the bottom of the Sleek™.
Note: The Sleek™ and the outside antenna must have a minimum separation of 3 feet to prevent
oscillation. Note: The cell phone must be placed in the Sleek™ cradle to amplify properly.

Notes:
1. Nominal gain is the maximum gain at any frequency in the passband.
2. Nominal bandwidth is the difference between two frequencies that are adjacent to the passband where the amplication is 20 dB
lower than the passband amplication. One of the frequencies is lower than the passband and the other is higher.
3. The Manufacturer’s rated output power of this equipment is for single carrier operation. For situations when multiple carrier
signals are present, the rating would have to be reduced by 3.5 dB, especially where the output signal is re-radiated and can
cause interference to adjacent band users. This power reduction is to be by means of input power or gain reduction and not by
an attenuator at the output of the device.
4. The maximum power for 2 or more simultaneous signals will be reduced by 6 dB every time the number of signals is doubled.
