Whats the best way to turn the LP350 on and off?
When you turn the main power switch on, the LP350 immediately lights the bulb and starts warming up (takes about a minute or a little less to reach full brightness). NEVER turn your projector off if it has been running for less than 5 minutes, as this could damage the bulb. After operating for a while, the bulb and projector get very hot. (be sure that it is well ventillated as per the user manual) The LP350 is designed to be turned off without a cool-down period. However, you must let it cool down for at least a minute before turning it back on again. A proper cool-down period may lengthen the life of projector bulbs, but cooling a bulb too quickly can reduce it’s lifespan… When you press the “Standby” button, it starts the standby timer (settable in the “Controls” menu – the default is 15 minutes, but I set mine to “1 minute”) and after that amount of time it will turn the lamp off, but keep the fan running to cool the projector off. I personally usually wait a couple of minutes af
