Help with a Voigtlander Vitomatic 2a

[peter__pan]

I've bought a Voigtlander Vitomatic IIa in an auction but the problem is that I can't understand some of the commands in the camera. So, I would like someone to help me with a few issues:
Is the meter something with a pointer on the right side of the camera close to the trigger? If yes, how do I know I'm exposing the film correctly?
What means a green V, a red X and a yellow M on the left side of the lens?
What does it mean a command on the upper left side of the camera with a lamp and a sun sign? I suppose it is to select tungsten film or daylight but how do I know which one I've selected?
Finally, does the camera work with batteries? If yes, where do I place them, because I can't see any compartment.
Thank you very much for any help.

Nifty camera hope you have fun with it...

Now for the "Google is my friend" part of this ...

The entire manual for the II is available (the IIa goes to 1/500 sec where the II only goes to 1/300 second).
