You do not understand your camera.

It is telling you that you are on the first exposure. As you take photos, the number will raise up to 36

Was this preventing you from taking just one shot? Had you done that, you would have seen number 2 show up on the counter

Here is the user manual. You need it if you want to enjoy your camera

The N80 is the same as the F80

The frame counter is additive. It starts at 1 and when you release the shutter and advance the film the frame counter goes to 2. This continues until 12, 24 or 36 shows on the frame counter depending on whether you loaded a 12, 24 or 36 exposure roll of film.
