That is essentially the way to use a metronome. You turn it on, choose a speed in bpm and then play. The metronome then helps you keep a steady tempo and when you get comfortable with playing anything at a given speed, you can increase the bpm. There's actually nothing more to using a metronome than that.
Hope it helps.
