     I have a BC-221-AN and would be glad to take some 
photos if that is of any help. It does NOT have a pilot 
light on the front panel.  Mine has an AC power supply in 
the battery compartment. It has a neon lamp on the switch 
assembly on the attached cord. I would be surprised at using 
an indicator lamp where conserving battery power is of 
concern.
