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 car that is:
 •Nearthe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 Outside Antenna cable into the car.
The cable is strong enough that it may be
shut in most vehicle doors without damaging
the cable. For a cleaner look, carefully pull
down the door seal, run the cable under the
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.
After waiting 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¼
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 of the bracket by loosening the
knurled nut, applying gentle pressure to
the top or bottom of the Sleek, and then
tightening the nut when the desired angle is
achieved.
5. 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.
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

magnetbaseoftheantennatotheat
surface of the bracket. The antenna must
be mounted vertically for the best signal.
2. Install the Mounting Bracket and Sleek.
Put your Sleek in the Mounting Bracket (see
instructions under Vehicle 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 Outside Antenna to avoid
oscillation (feedback). Your cell phone must
be in the cradle for the 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.
6. 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
vehicle 12V DC power source. Use only the
supplied Wilson Electronics power supply.
While the Sleek may remain on, leaving the
Sleek on in a vehicle when it is not running
may discharge the battery in a day or two.
Also note that some 12V DC power sources
are shut down when the vehicle ignition is
turned to off. Use a Bluetooth headset, wired
hands-free device or speakerphone for talking
on the phone.
In-Building Installation Option
Note: Home Ofce 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modernenergyefcient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 product that provides
an option for mounting an antenna on an
outside wall or roof of a building.
 •Withthebracketinplace,attachthe

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.
If the 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ofce,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. If the light is green, the Sleek
is working properly. If the 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.
Adjusting the Sleek Arms
Various sized arms are included with your Sleek.
These provide you with options to customize the
Sleektot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rmly
in place.
Troubleshooting & Understanding
the Light
The light on the side of the 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.
Light off: If the light is not on:
 •Checkconnectionsonthepowersupply
toseethatitisrmlypluggedintoboth

How does weather affect the performance of my Outside Antenna?
Watervapor(e.g.rain,fog,snoworotherprecipitation)createsaneffectivelter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 1700/2100MHz are
associated with 4G data. For more detail see below.

Each Signal Booster is individually tested and factory set to ensure FCC compliance. 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.
