Correct. Simply ensure that the wrench is at the correct setting, put it on and twist until it clicks (or reaches the proper setting if a dial type). Usually after a few hours following the initial torquing the wrench will turn a fraction before the click.
By the way, torque wrenches, especially cheap ones, can be inaccurate, and in any case even a good one can change its characteristics with time and use. It's a good idea to check it against a known accurate one, or if you aren't certain that even the other one is accurate, against two others (to average out any error).
Shop guy said to ALWAYS set a clicker torque wrench back to Zero when not in use, or it will loose accuracy.
We've been working with my wrench which was not cheep, but is a 4% wrench. I had no luck finding a 2% wrench locally.
