You need to set the shooting 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.
See the "Shooting Modes" section in the manual (page 32 in my copy).

Sadly, the ML-L3 does not work with the D700. You need to buy the much clumsier and much more expensive ML-3, which has a wireless receiver you hook to the camera and a wireless transmitter you use to fire the camera.
Lame, but true.

Pres the "+" button once, look for Shooting modes. You will have the following options:
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.

Set the D3000's shooting mode to one of the two remote modes. Quick-response remote takes a picture as soon as you push the button on the remote. Delayed-response remote waits two seconds so you can hide the remote behind your back.

Set the camera's shooting mode to one of the two remote mode. 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 for triggering the shutter.
For full details on using the remote, refer to the "Choosing a Shooting Mode" section in your camera manual.
