No, that's the one I've got. The 9V rectangular is tough to remove though!

Mine has an 'L' button on the front which switches it to low range. There
is a small grey 'B' button above it which is battery check (but which
battery I wouldn't know!) The high range is active full time.
This one is OLD - the nose is faded to dark silver (Schnozz take note) and
it says Asahi 'Spotmeter' Pentax on top.
