The Beurer LS 20 Eco Luggage Scale operates without batteries, utilizing a kinetic energy generation system.
- Initial Power Generation: Before first use, or if the display is off, press the green power generation button firmly and quickly several times until the display activates. This generates the necessary power for measurement.

5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Weighing Luggage
- Prepare the Scale: Ensure the scale is powered on and the desired unit is selected (refer to Section 4).
- Attach to Luggage: Loop the weighing strap around the handle of your luggage. Secure the buckle firmly.
- Lift the Luggage: Hold the scale firmly and lift the luggage off the ground. Keep the scale steady and the luggage suspended without touching any surfaces.
- Read the Weight: The display will show the weight. The scale features an automatic hold function, meaning the reading will stabilize and remain on the display for a few seconds after the weight is registered, even if the luggage is lowered.
- Lower the Luggage: Carefully lower the luggage. The scale will automatically switch off after a period of inactivity to conserve energy.

5.2 Tare Function
The tare function allows you to weigh additional items without including the weight of a container or previously weighed items.
- Weigh First Item: Follow the steps in Section 5.1 to weigh the first item (e.g., an empty bag).
- Activate Tare: While the first item is still suspended and its weight is displayed, press the "unit/tara" button once. The display will reset to zero.
- Weigh Additional Item: Add the second item to the first (e.g., place items into the empty bag). The display will now show only the weight of the added item.
6. Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Clean the scale with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or immerse the device in water.
- Storage: Store the scale in a cool, dry place when not in use.
- Avoid Overload: Do not attempt to weigh items exceeding the maximum capacity of 50 kg, as this can damage the scale.
