That may be the literal meaning, yes.

I've only used it idiomatically, usually in the phrase "ein
Lebenszeichen von sich geben" (to emit a sign of life), which I use in
a jocular sense, something like "to resume contact after not having
had any for a period of time" (see also the translators' discussion in
http://dict.leo.org/cgi-bin/dict/urlexp/20020507222011 ).
