doesn't move

I found a note a few days ago that recommended warming the StellaCam3 when done using it. In other words, they said to turn off the cooling. And this could be done by pressing the red LED.

Tried that, in the light of day, but the red LED (while marked ON OFF) did not move...

How much change in temperature is there between on and off, and is there a reason given for why you should do this? For really big temp changes you I heard you should scale up the TEC and scale it back slowly to avoid physically damaging the chip... but that's hearsay.

I'll try to find the note. There was not a lot of detail though.
