Calibration 
The Signature Elite instrument is calibrated at the manufacturing facility to test and verify all functions. The 
instrument is also self-calibrating, as all instrument functions are continuously monitored and verified by the 
instrument software when a test is performed. The instrument does not require additional calibration by the 
user. 
For Class 2 Laser Instruments: 
CAUTION:
CLASS 2 LASER RADIATION WHEN OPEN. DO NOT STARE INTO THE BEAM.
CAUTION: This manual provides safety instructions for instruments equipped with class 1 or class 2 
barcode scanner lasers. Please refer to the back panel of the instrument to identify the class of laser 
and follow appropriate instructions provided in this manual.
