enclosed serial communications cable to the device.
2. Connect the other end of the serial cable to the desired
communications port of the personal computer. Usually,

3. Pull the trigger and press the key to turn on the
thermometer. Point the thermometer to your target, and
make certain that you are reading a temperature. Do not
begin to print (send) data at this time.
