Care of your La Belle projector is important.

(l) Keep your projector and cartridge as clean as possible. Always place cartridge in protective sleeve.

(2) When storing your projector and cartridges, do not expose them to undue heat, cold, or direct sunlight. If possible, keep your projector in a carrying case or protective vinyl cover.

(3) If transporting a projector in a vehicle during extremely cold or hot weather, allow ample time for the projector to adjust to a normal room temperature before attempting to operate it.

(4) Do not block the louvers on the cover or operate projector in a confining enclosure or high heat area.

(5) Blotches or dirt that appears to be on the inside of the screen are actually foreign matter on the film or aperture glass.

(6) The lens, mirror and the inside of the screen seldom need cleaning. These surfaces are easily scratched; therefore we recommend they be cleaned only by an authorized LaBelle Service Station.

(7) Avoid touching the front of the screen with the fingers. To clean the outside surface of the screen use only a mild soap and water. Do not use a solvent.

(8) Lamp life can be extended by correct usage of the lamp mode switch. Failure to follow the guidelines in the operating instruction book results in wasted lamp life and subjects the program and machine to needless overheating.

Cut Inbound Freight Cost

The cost of inbound freight is often ignored as an area in which to save money simply because no one knows how to do the job. Check these ideas: o Become as expert as possible on transportation terminology, legal requirements, freight tariffs and regulations. o Learn FOB terms concerning loss and damage claims. o Coordinate efforts of buyers and traffic personnel to be sure that lowest transportation costs are in effect. o Use company trucks as much as practical. o Plan shipments so that they will qualify for bulk rate. o Coordinate shipments to a common point where they can be consolidated and shipped at lower rate. r Reduce the number of carriers handling inbound freight. o Consider packaging change to convert to a lower rate. o Check inbound freight bills for correct descriptions of products shipped; differences in description can raise or lower cost up to 800/0. o Check different shipping methods and consider changing.

. Increase size of shipments to qualify for a lower rate per unit.
