Default Newbie help: How do I make sure I'm using this TQ wrench properly?

I've got it set to 72lbs...

Do I just keep turning around? Or will it stop me when it's tight enough?

I'm not quite sure how this works.

if its a clicker type, it will click when you reach the desired torque

Yes it does make a clicking noise, but I thought you had to make sure it made 2 clicks
