You don't need to do anything on the ML-L3. You need to set the release mode on the D700 to the remote mode. Press the release mode dial lock release and turn the release mode dial (pages 27, 77, and 80 in my copy of the manual). If you need a manual, you can download one at

Nikon really doesn't have a user's guide for the ML-L3. It comes with a slip of paper telling you how to change the battery, and that's about it. The thing only has one button on it, after all. The precise steps for using the remote vary from camera to camera. If your camera works with the ML-L3, there will be something in the camera's manual telling you how. It's usually called "Release Mode" or "Shooting Mode." Basically, you set the camera to a remote mode, then use the button on the remote instead of the shutter release button on the camera.
Set the camera's release mode to one of the two remote modes. The quick-response remote mode fires the shutter when you press the button on the remote. The delayed remote mode gives you two seconds to hide the remote behind your back before firing the shutter.
To set the camera's release mode, press the [info] button to display the information screen. Press the [i] button to put the cursor into the information display. Use the direction keys on the multiselector to highlight the release mode (fourth item from the top, along the right edge of the screen) and press [OK]. Use the direction keys to highlight the desired mode and press [OK].
For further information, please refer to the "Release Mode" section in the manual (page 65 in my copy of the manual).
Set the camera's release mode to one of the two remote modes. The quick-response mode fires the shutter when you press the button on the remote. The delayed mode gives you two seconds to hide the remote behind your back before firing the shutter.
For full details, look in the camera manual under "Release Mode" (page 65 in my copy of the D5000 manual).
Pres the "+" button once, look for Shooting modes. You will have the following options:
Single shot (S)
Multiple shots
Timer
Remote control
Remote control 2s
With Remote control, the camera will take a picture when you press the remote. With Remote control 2s, the camera will wait for 2 seconds when you press the button and after that take the picture.
In the Shooting Mode menu, change <from either Single or Continuous or 10Second self-timer> to 2S (two seconds) Remote or immediate Remote -- there's an icon that looks like your remote. Then get in front of the camera (lens cap removed already) and point the remote to the IR receiver on the front of the camera and click the remote button ... it will take the shot immediately or after two seconds (depending on what you specified).
The shooting mode doesn't seem to stick -- if I turn the camera off and then on, it's gone back to how it was previous set and I have to set it to remote again.
My bigger problem was I thought (guessed, since there were no instructions!) that I had to press the self-timer function button before clicking the remote -- but doing that kept resetting my shooting mode back to 10 seconds on SELF TIMER (taking it off of REMOTE mode).
Got it! It's on page 54 of the manual (mine anyway).
Choose release mode from the Quick settings display.
You have a choice between: single frame (default) continuous (burst mode) self-timer delayed remote (using the ML-L3) quick response remote (using the ML-L3)
I just took 4 self-portraits using quick response. And deleted them straightaway!
