What do you do when you see a repeat sign at the beginning of a measure?

I take piano classes at school, and I'm used to seeing the repeat symbol at the end of a piece. However, I bought a book for my singing lessons, and a few of the songs have repeat signs in the first measure of the first staff. What do I do when I see that?

    That's where a later repeat goes back to.

    When you see a repeat sign at the end, how do you know how far back to go? You look for the repeat sign with the dots facing the other way.
