If properly installed, the meter is coupled to the shutter dial.
You manually transfer the reading (f-stop) to the lens. That's it!
The CdS meter, which BTW covers a 90mm field of view, can be adapted
to silver oxide batteries by these guys. Here's a post I wrote aeons
ago:

Hi all.
I recently sent George Milton of QLM in Hollywood a package
containing 3 defunct and one working, but iffy, Leicameter MR.
George quickly informed me that two of them were so badly corroded
inside that they were beyond repair, despite their nice external
cosmetics. Apparently it's a non-no to leave the battery in if they
are not in use for long periods.
However, he did manage to bring a black MR back from the dead despite
some corrosion, and also fixed the iffy one.
He also re-calibrated them to accept a silver oxide battery in place
of the banned mercury PX 625.
They arrived back this morning and agree pretty well with both my
Lunasix and Weston V. So now at least I can rely on them being
accurate when I don't want the bother of carrying a separate
hand-held around.
I commend George's work to you. He's very professional, quite fast,
and a good communicator. I wouldn't say he's cheap, but I certainly
got what I paid for.
