New Scale out of box will not weigh correctly

I just purchased it and was easy to set up. The clock works great but the scale weighs 70-80 lbs lower than what it should weigh.It's on a ceramc Tile Floor. It came in an IDEA INTERNATIONAL Package. Above bar code it says item JB5239.It is a 400lb. Capac.scale. I weighed myself on a VG Medical Beam scale which showed 292 Lbs.
The Jobar shows 208 Lbs. Looks like to me this scale is malfunctioning. I don't see any thing in the instructions about calbrating it.Shall I just return it where I bought it? Or can I do something to Calibrate it ? HELP......John

Take a 5 pound bag of sugar, flour or what have you. Put it on the scale. If it is off, turn the scale so that you can check every possible place for an adjustment. Adjust and go for it!!! Good luck...Lee

Why does salter scales round up when measuring grams
Because you have a scale that weighs in whole grams not parts of a gram. You need a more accurate scale like these which weigh to 1/00th of a gram (0.01 grams).

My scale does not weigh accurately. How do I fix this? A 35 lb weight comes up 33 lbs on the scale
cheap scales do that,

some better scales of an autocalibration, mode, RTM
read the manual, google for it using its real name and model #
then read that see if it has that feature,
a 6% error, if the manual tells you scale is 5% accuracy that be normal. no scale told of 10,000 models sold world wide.

My WW78 scale keeps giving an ERR message when I stand on it.
Usually I change the weight by weighing one foot and then weighing again with both. And then I keep repeating that until my results are consistent. Then that result seems to be accurate

Scale is not weighing correctly. Weighs correct
The scale must be on a hard, level surface. Make sure there is absolutely no dirt on any of the pivot points. Calibrate it with a KNOWN 25 pound weight.
