the self timer usually works like this.
find the self timer setting and set it to 5 or 10 seconds.
then exit the menu and click the button that you normally press to take photo. the self timer will start automatically and the picture will be taken after 5 or 10 seconds (depending on what you set).
note that the self timer will be reset to off after this.

On the top of the camera there is a button next to the large select wheel (sort of behind the shutter button) that has a picture of several pictures stacked up, and a small clock. This is the self timer button. Press this button to access the self timer. You may need to use the jog wheel or directional pad to adjust the settings.

If you need help locating this button, please reply to this message.

Once you have the self-timer set up, press the shutter release button to activate it.
