 ## Using the Mobilinkd TNC4 with the Icom ID-52
 
-TODO: Download Mobilinkd app from Appstore. Setup audio levels
+### Basic configuration of the TNC with Mobilinkd Config App
-for input and output.
 
+As with most equipment, you need to set the audio levels on the Mobilinkd TNC.
+There is a [configuration app at the AppStore](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mobilinkd-config-app/id1449681533).
+
+| TNC input settings| TNC output settings |
+| :---------------: | :---------------:   |
+| ![input settings](tnc_audio-in.jpg) | ![output settings](tnc_audio-out.jpg) |
+
+The actual battery state can be viewed in <kbd>Power Settings...</kbd>.
+
+After you finished the confgiguration, disconnect the Config App from your TNC.
+
+### The actual use of the TNC with RadioMail
+
+Connect the Mobilinkd TNC with an appropriate cable to your transceiver. I'm using
+my [Icom ID-52]({{< ref "/equipment/handhelds/icom-id52" >}}) for this because this is the radio if have usually with me---if any.

+{{< alert "circle-info" >}}
+Read through the [:open_book: User Manual](http://www.mobilinkd.com/downloads/) as it is
+really helpful (yes I know, real men and specially tech geeks don't need
+manuals---they just post stupid questions on mailing lists later...)
+{{< /alert >}}
+
+Once you are in the app, select your favorites from the full stations view by
+tapping the top right button called <kbd>Stations</kbd>.
+
+![Stations list](rm_stations.jpg)
+
+Select the station and tap <kbd>Add to Favorites</kbd>.
+
+![Station details view](rm_station-details.jpg)
+
+Now, when you want to connect to a gateway, you can choose from your favorites
+from within the <kbd>Connect</kbd> screen by hitting <kbd>Favorites</kbd>.
+
+![Connect screen](rm_connect.jpg)
+
+Then select the mode and your favorits get listed.

+{{< alert "circle-info" >}}
+Don't forget: you need a subscription to use forms, as they require
+more maintainance to keep always updated with the regular [Winlink Forms][1].

+## Using RadioMail with VARA-HF
+
+This is also valid for VARA-FM (but I won't cover that, because I use the built-in packet
+option from RadioMail).
+
+You need another device (usually a Windows Laptop or Tablet) that can run VARA-HF.
+Put your iPhone and the device that runs VARA-HF into the same network so they can talk
+to each other.
+
+Go to <kbd>Settings</kbd>, <kbd>VARA HF Modem</kbd> (in <kbd>DEVICES</kbd>) and enter
+the IP Address of the host running VARA-HF. Example below:
+
+![VARA HF Settings](rm_varahf.jpg)
+
+RadioMail on your iPhone can now talk to the VARA HF Modem on your Surface tablet (for example).
