Step 2 – Install REX Software on Your PC 

To install the REX software: 

1. If 

it’s not already there, insert the REX CD into your PC’s CD-ROM 

drive. 

2. Select 

Run from Windows' Start menu. When the Run dialog box 

displays, type x:\setup (substitute your CD-ROM drive's letter for the 
x). Then click OK.  

3. Select 

Install your REX 6000 and follow the on-screen instructions. 

A PIM is personal information management software that runs on 
your PC and stores contacts, appointments, memos etc. During the 
installation you will have three choices with respect to a PIM: 

• 

Intellisync PIM–Choose this option if you do not have a PIM and 
you want to install the Intellisync PIM provided with REX. 

• 

Microsoft Outlook–Choose this option if you have Microsoft 
Outlook (part of Microsoft Office) and you want to use it as your 
PIM. REX does not support Microsoft Outlook Express. 

• 

None/Other–Choose this option if you want to use REX without a 
PIM or you have a PIM other than Microsoft Outlook. If you have 
another PIM, visit www.rex.net

Follow the remaining on-screen instructions. When the installation is 
complete, you may optionally choose from the following selections: 

• 

View Documentation – view the online user guide. 

• 

Visit www.rex.net for free services – visit the REX Web site to 
read about updates and other information pertaining to REX. You 
can also sign up for Web services and register your product 
online. You will need the product ID number (see page 4). 

• 

Register your REX 6000 – register your REX card. You will need 
the product ID number (see page 4). This step is unnecessary if 
you register at www.rex.net

• 

Exit – exits the install program. 

When you are done with these options, select Exit and remove the CD-
ROM from the drive.
