How do I use an electric tuner to tune my Acoustic Guitar?

Well, I wanted to make sure my acoustic guitar was tuned right, so I have a electric tuner that came with My Guitar.
I do not know how to use it though.
There is a power button that I press and then it turns on and when I strum a string a letter comes up like E. or G.
And then these little lights blink up at the top.
So if anybody knows how to use it that would be awesome!
Thanks!

alright here are the notes of each string in standard tuning starting from the highest string(thickest) to lowest(thinnest):

E (thickest one)
A
D
G
B
E (bottom, thinnest string)

find the note of the string (eg E,A,D,G,B,E) by plucking the string and turning the tuning pegs until the right note comes up. then try (by turning the tuning pegs again) to make the line/arrow in the tuner point right at 12 o'clock corresponding to its note. the closer the arrow on pointing straight up, the closer the pitch of the string to the note that comes up.

u can also check if u have done it right by plucking the 5th fret of E(thickest) and the open A string. they should sound the same. do this to all of the strings (E&A, A&D, D&G, B&E) except for G and B. instead of plucking the 5th fret, pluck the 4th fret of G and then just the open E (thinnest). good luck and keep on rockin'
