How it works
A 3/4 metronome counts the quarter note, three to a bar: this one opens at 120 with the first click higher. Wikipedia's Time signature table gives 3/4 as the bar of waltzes, minuets and mazurkas.

Start
Tap the pad, or press Space, and count one, two, three from the higher click. The same tap stops it.
Change the tempo
Tap the number under the pad and type the tempo printed on your music: 60, 70, 81, 90, 100, 110 or 165 as readily as any other whole number. Minus and plus move it one beat a minute.
Questions and answers
How to set a metronome to 3/4 time?
It is set already: three beats to a bar, the quarter note counted, beat one higher. Only the speed is left to you. Tap the number, type the tempo your music gives for the quarter note, then tap the pad.
How do you count 3/4 time?
One, two, three, a number to each quarter note, with "and" on the eighth note between two beats: that is how Open Music Theory's chapter on simple metre counts it. Beat one is the downbeat and carries the weight; here it is the higher click.
What is the metronome setting for a waltz?
This bar. The World DanceSport Federation's rules set a competition waltz at 28 to 30 bars a minute and a Viennese waltz at 58 to 60; with three beats to a bar, our own sum makes that 84 to 90 and 174 to 180.
Is a fast waltz counted one in a bar?
It can be. Wikipedia's Time signature article notes that a fast waltz written in 3/4 may be described as one in a bar. On this pad the higher click is that one: follow it alone and let the two lower clicks pass.
Why can't I hear the metronome?
Look first at a phone's ring switch, then the volume, then whether Bluetooth headphones have taken the sound. Sound or no sound, the three dots light in turn, so the bar can be followed by eye.
