How to count it
Count 1 2 3: 3 quarter-note beats to the bar, with the click on every beat, 300 ms apart. The first beat of each bar is accented. A waltz feel: three beats to the bar, counted in quarter notes. At this speed the click plays only the beat.
Practise it up to speed
Start at 150 BPM and let the tempo trainer raise it 2 BPM every 4 bars until it reaches 200.
