SAFETY NOTES
1
GENERAL: Please read this Getting Started Guide carefully before using the 9361 Home Cell V2.
The 9361 Home Cell V2’s purpose is to provide improved mobile signal coverage inside your
home. Do not use this device for any other purpose, as doing so may be dangerous.
PLACEMENT: The 9361 Home Cell V2 and all its components (including cables and power
adaptor) should be placed in a dry, indoor area, at elevated heights such as on top of shelves,
cabinets, etc. It should be kept away from any wet or damp environments; such as kitchens,
bathrooms, laundry rooms or any other areas with exposure to moisture, sprays, drips, or
running water. For the safety of stored data, it should not be placed near magnetic devices such
as audio or video tapes, diskettes or credit cards. While in service, people should stand back at
least 20 cm from the device’s antenna and the antenna should not be collocated with any another
antenna or transmitting device.
MEDICAL DEVICES: The 9361 Home Cell V2 contains a radio transmitter similar to a Wi-fi
transmitter. Medical devices such as pacemakers and hearing aids may be affected when using
this device. Please contact your General Practitioner for additional safety guidelines.
EMERGENCY: The 9361 Home Cell V2 does not operate during instances of power loss. To make
emergency calls, please use a mobile or land line phones.

another power adaptor. Ensure that the power adaptor is always easily accessible and that the
voltage specified corresponds to the power socket to which you connect it. In case of power loss
(and therefore loss of service), all mobile calls, including emergency calls, will be redirected
automatically to the default mobile (carrier) network. If you have no mobile network coverage at
home and need to make an emergency call, please use a land line. In case of a thunderstorm,
please disconnect the device to avoid damaging it.
DISPOSAL & RECYCLING: To facilitate disposal and/or recycling, please respect the sorting rules
of your country or region for this kind of device. European regulations require the disposal of this
device at sales points or at designated collection points such as drop-off centers, etc.

WELCOME
Before you begin you need to make sure you have the following:
• High Speed Internet service and an available Ethernet LAN port on your router
• An available (and nearby) power socket or electrical outlet
•
3G Mobile Phone and SIM card registered with your mobile operator for
Home Cell Femtozone
• Home Cell SIM card provided by your mobile service provider (optional)
The Alcatel-Lucent 9361 Home Cell V2 provides enhanced mobile voice and data
service within the home. It delivers high quality voice calls and faster, more reliable mobile
data service.
The Alcatel-Lucent 9361 Home Cell V2 connects to your broadband Internet service to
deliver extended indoor mobile network coverage. The mobile phone connectivity, signal
quality, and data bandwidth within your home will greatly improve, especially if your home is
in a remote area or out of adequate mobile phone tower range.
Inside this packaging you will find - the 9361 Home Cell V2 (similar to a Wi-fi access point)
an Ethernet cable, power adaptor, and wall mounting kit. Unlike a Wi-fi access point, the
9361 Home Cell V2 has a zero touch set-up process. Just install as detailed in this guide and
forget it’s there because it connects to your mobile phone automatically whenever your
phone is within range.

9361 Home Cell V2 - Getting Started Guide
Step 1: Insert the SIM card (optional)
To improve coverage the following should be avoided
Installing near other radio transmitters
Installing near metallic devices
Installing near a window
Step 2: Find a central location in your home or office to install the device
9
Installing the Alcatel-Lucent 9361 Home Cell V2 is simple and can be done in around 10
minutes. The following instructions will guide you through the Quick Setup
process.
If your mobile operator provided a SIM card to use with the 9361 Home Cell V2, make
sure the 9361 Home Cell V2 is switched off and then insert the SIM card into the SIM
card slot on the side as shown next. The end with the cut-off corner goes in first with
the cut-off corner pointing down.
QUICK SETUP
The Alcatel-Lucent 9361 Home Cell V2 emits a radio signal similar to a Wi-fi router.
The quality of the coverage you will experience depends on where the device is located
and it should be placed:
- in a central area of your home
- as high as possible; on top of tall furniture, shelves, cabinets, wall mounts, etc.
The GPS antenna should be positioned horizontally for best GPS reception. The GPS
antenna must have a clear view of the sky.`
Painting the antenna as this impairs or disables signal reception
Pulling the cord when installing as this will cause a short or snap the wires

Step 3: Use Stand “OR” Mount on wall
10
The 9361 Home Cell V2 can be either free standing on a flat, sturdy surface or wall
mounted.
For a free standing installation, place the 9361 Home Cell V2 in the wall bracket/stand
with the back of the 9361 Home Cell V2 facing the taller part of the wall bracket/stand
as shown.

Step 5: Broadband Connectivity
For a free standing installation, connect the
cables to the 9361 Home Cell V2 after you
place it in the wall bracket/stand.
For wall mounting, connect the cables to the
9361 Home Cell V2 before attaching the 9361
Home Cell V2 to the stand/bracket.
Connect one end of the provided yellow
Ethernet cable to the yellow LAN1 port (LAN
Back haul) on the 9361 Home Cell V2.
If you are using the optional GPS antenna,
remove the dust cap from the 9361 Home
Cell V2’s GPS connector. Then screw the
antenna clockwise onto the GPS connector.
Run the antenna close to a window.
Connect the provided AC power adaptor cord
to the power port on the 9361 Home Cell V2.
To wall mount the 9361 Home Cell V2, first fix the wall bracket/stand to the wall as
shown in the below illustration. Use the stand’s screw holes as guidelines to drill 2 fixing
points. Use the 2 cheese head screws provided to mount the stand on the wall with the
screw holes at the top. Pull the stand downwards so the screws lock into position.
QUICK SETUP

Insert the legs of the stand/bracket into the slots on the back of the 9361 Home Cell V2
and pull down to lock into position.
Note: The 9361 Home Cell V2 Base is less than 1 kg and can be easily mounted
on any flat sturdy wall.

Step 4: Connect the Ethernet cable:
Step 5: Connect the External Power Supply:
13
Connect the yellow Ethernet cable to an available Ethernet port on your DSL/Cable
router.
Connect the AC power adaptor cord to an available power socket.
Switch on the 9361 Home Cell V2. After a few seconds the power status indicator
lights up and the Ethernet port status indicators on both the 9361 Home Cell V2 and
the broadband connection should light up green (flash green). If this does not happen,
go to the troubleshooting section of this guide for help.
QUICK SETUP

Step 6: Broadband Connectivity
14
After approximately two minutes (for initial installation this may take up to 90 minutes
if it is the first time you turn on), the 9361 Home Cell V2 connectivity and GPS
indicators will begin to blink.
If the connectivity status indicator is off, go to the troubleshooting section of this guide
for help.
Step 7: Automatic Software Update:
After the device establishes a broadband connection to your Internet Service Provider
(ISP), the 9361 Home Cell V2 automatically updates its software.
This process “takes” about 15 minutes and the connectivity status indicator blinks.
After the device retrieves its software update package, it reboots automatically.
During reboot, the power indicator is on.
Step 8: Auto-configuration:
After rebooting, the 9361 Home Cell V2 automatically configures itself with the
information you have provided to your ISP and mobile phone operator regarding
phones or devices that are allowed to connect to your Femtozone service.
The connectivity status indicator blinks and remains on when the auto configura-
tion is complete.
When the device is ready to be used, the connectivity status indicator is ON.
You are now ready to make your first call using your 9361 Home Cell V2.
