General

Your Wilson Electronics Sleek 4G 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 4G reduces disconnects

and dropouts and increases data communication rates on 2G, 3G and 4G networks.

NOTE: The cell phone must be placed in the cradle to work properly.

NOTE: See the Warnings section for additional information.

Warning: DO NOT use phone covers that have chrome or any other metallic surface. It may block

cellular signals.

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 and side windows or sunroof.

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 the cable to the Sleek 4G. The signal

is then boosted by the Sleek 4G and sent to the phone. When the phone transmits, the signal is picked

up wirelessly and boosted by the Sleek 4G and transmitted back to the cell tower through the Outside

Antenna.

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.

NOTE: 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.

2. Attach the Mounting Bracket

(included in this package)

a. Clean the area where the bracket is to be mounted with the supplied alcohol wipe. Allow to dry.

b. 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.

c. Allow the adhesive to cure for 24 hours before you attach the Sleek 4G.

3. Attach the Sleek®4G to the Bracket

Once you have installed the bracket in the desired location, and waited 24 hours for adhesive to cure, at-

tach the Sleek 4G by aligning the rectangular hole on its back with the tab on the mount bracket, grasping

the sides of the Sleek 4G, and sliding it downward approximately ¼ inch into place. You can adjust the

angle of the adhesive bracket by applying gentle pressure to the top or bottom of the Sleek 4G. The

bracket is designed to swivel when the knurled nut is loosened for greater adjustability of the Sleek 4G

viewing angle. To lock bracket into position, tighten large nut.

Connect the mini-USB plug on the power supply cable to the

mini-USB port located on the bottom of the Sleek 4G (refer to

Figure 1) and insert the vehicle power adapter into the power

socket of your vehicle.

The switch located on the right hand side of the Sleek 4G should

be set to the desired position. Up Position: Is for Verizon LTE.

Down Position: is for AT&T LTE (refer to Figure 2).

The Sleek 4G may remain on all the time. However, leaving the

Sleek 4G on in a vehicle when it is not running can discharge the

battery in a day or two.

NOTE: Make sure the Outside Antenna cable is connected

before powering up the Sleek.

NOTE: The 12V DC power source on many vehicles is shut

off with the ignition key.

IMPORTANT: Use only the supplied Wilson Electronics

power supply.

4. Attach the Outside Antenna cable to the Sleek® 4G

Attach the cable from the Outside Antenna to the antenna connector on the Sleek 4G (see Figure 1).

Adjusting the Sleek®4G Arms

Understanding the Sleek® 4G Lights

Separation of Sleek 4G 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 4G inside the vehicle. An

oscillation (or feedback) in the Sleek 4G is similar to when a microphone is too close to a speaker in sound

system, resulting in a loud whistle. An oscillation in the Sleek 4G, if allowed to occur, can affect nearby cell

towers’ ability to handle calls.

Sleek®4G SYMPTOM: Red light is on

The Sleek 4G has oscillation protection – which means the Signal Booster powers down to protect the

cell tower. See section above “Separation of Sleek 4G and the Outside Antenna is very important.”

The RED light indicates the outside roof mounted antenna needs to be farther apart from the Sleek

4G. 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 and side windows or sunroof. To reset the Sleek 4G,

disconnect and reconnect the power supply. If the light is now green, the Sleek 4G is working

properly. If the RED light is still on, move the Outside Antenna farther away and repeat the process.

NOTE: The cell phone must be placed in the Sleek 4G to work properly. Use a Bluetooth®or hands

free device.

Troubleshooting

SYMPTOM: No increase in bars

1. Make sure that the antenna connector is tight.

2. The cell phone must be placed in the Sleek 4G cradle to amplify properly.

In-Building Installation

Installing a Wilson Electronics 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 Electronics Mini-Magnet Mount

Antenna and the optional suction cup window bracket.

Attach the suction cup bracket to the inside of a window so that the cable

will reach the location of the Sleek 4G. 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.

Installing the Wilson Electronics Sleek 4G®Signal Booster in a Building

The Wilson Electronics Sleek 4G may be placed in any convenient indoor location, such as a desk or

tabletop. The cell phone or data card must be in the cradle and use a Bluetooth

headset or wired hands

free device for voice communications.

Attaching the Antenna

Once you have selected the location for the Sleek 4G, run the cable from the Outside Antenna and

attach it to the connector on the bottom of the Sleek 4G.

NOTE: The Sleek 4G and the Outside Antenna

must have a minimum separation of 3

feet to prevent oscillation.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

It is very important to power your Signal Booster using a surge protected AC Power Strip•

with at least a 1000 Joule rating.

Failure to do this will void your warranty in the• event of a power surge or lightning strike.

NOTE: The cell phone must be placed in

the Sleek 4G cradle to amplify

properly.

To receive the best signal, select a window on the side of your building

where your outside signal is the strongest.
