Answer 1

They work by sound, and should have a center marking to show you the string is in tune.  The tuner should be placed close to the guitar as you tune each string. I don't use that particular brand, but if it's electronic, check the battery first.  I'm also sure it came with instructions.  If all else fails, next time you take your guitar to have it tuned, take the tuner with you.  I'm sure someone could explain it to you.  

Here's a tuner you don't have to figure out.   Just make sure your volume is on.

Answer 2

Make sure the battery is fresh.

Place the tuner close to your guitar.

Some tuners require you to select the string you are tuning.

Pick the first string and wait for the reading.

Adjust the tuner if necessary, you will get the hang of which way the tuner is telling you to go because if you turn it the wrong way you will notice in the tuner, and hear it.

Repeat with the other strings.  Standard tuning (E Standard) is from the top string down (6-1) EADGBe, but you can use any tuning you like.
