    Why won't my Cynosure Apogee Elite Measuring Instruments laser fire outside of the Cal Port?
    • A
      Allen BellSep 3, 2025
      If the Ready LED is lit but the Cynosure Measuring Instruments laser will not fire outside of the Cal Port, recalibrate the laser. Ensure the handpiece fiber cable is properly connected and check that the foot switch connector is properly inserted into the foot switch receptacle.

    What should I do for a 'Power Supply Warning; Cycle Power' message on Cynosure Measuring Instruments?
    • B
      Billy MendozaSep 6, 2025
      If your Cynosure Measuring Instruments displays a 'Power Supply Warning', turn the system off and then on to test if the problem recurs. If the fault continues, replace the HVPS and recalibrate it.
