1. Change arms
Gently grab the arm and lift
upward until the arm slides
free from the Sleek.
NOTE: The cell phone must be placed in the Sleek to work properly. Use a Bluetooth or wired hands free device.
Understanding the Sleek
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.
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.
SYMPTOM:
Red
light is on
1.
If 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.

Troubleshooting

SYMPTOM: No increase in bars
1.
