Introducing



The REX

™

PC Companion is a revolution-

ary device that lets you bring your organizer
information wherever you go.

Use REX to Stay in Sync

Using REX TrueSync

™

Information Man-

ager, you can organize your calendar events,
contacts, memos, and other information on
your laptop or desktop computer. Then use
the TrueSync synchronization software to
transfer that information to your credit-card-
sized REX PC Companion.

REX TrueSync Information Manager even
enables you to import files from Microsoft

®

Outlook 97/98, Microsoft S 7.0,
7.0a, 7.5, Lotus Organizer

®

97/97GS,

ACT!

™

3.0.6, 3.0.7, 3.0.8, Sidekick

®

98, and

other formats, and then synchronize those
files to your REX PC Companion.

Use REX With Your Laptop
or Desktop Computer

If you have a laptop or other computer with
a Type II PCMCIA card slot, synchronizing
your information can be as easy as inserting
your REX PC Companion into a PC card
slot and then running the TrueSync synchro-
nization software on your computer.

If you have desktop or other computer that
does not have a PC card slot, use the REX
Docking Station to connect the REX PC
Companion to your computer, and then run
the TrueSync synchronization software on
your computer.

Use REX to Stay Organized

Once your information has been synchronized,
you can use the REX PC Companion to:

• view your appointments, meetings, birth-

days, and other scheduled events,

• find the names, addresses, phone numbers,

e-mail addresses, and other information of
your business and personal contacts,

• keep track of your To Do items (calls,

tasks, etc.), as well as mark To Do items
when they are done,

• keep your home time and date, as well as

the time and dates of eight cities around
the world,

• read memos and notes,

• change the date and time displays, alarm

options, and other preferences, and

• set a password to secure the information

on your REX PC Companion.

To learn how to use the REX PC Compan-
ion, read this user’s guide. To learn how to
use REX TrueSync Information Manager,
read its user’s guide. If you’re using the
REX Docking Station, a separate user’s
