Default RE: Throttle hold problems

How do you run a constant speed rotor head with the idle up set at 1500 RPM, If you Idle up and increase the colective the rotor head speed will go down unless it is coupled with the Throttle, so to give more throttle as your pitch increases. I'm not sure how it all works but can you explain the idle up process to me better. Do you idle up before take off? or do you only use idle up during autorotation?
help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
