From the Pentax manual for the old analog (not the oldest L shaped one - I have one of those also):
The 1/21 meter is powered by two batteries - one 1,3 volt mercury battery and one 9 volt dry cell. The mercury battery operates the high range, "H," and the dry cell operates the low range, "L."
Guess yours isn't that old?
