It's the handle of a water kettle. Behind the circuit board is nothing. There is also no other circuit board in the kettle. Is the yellow thing the beeper? Thanks for any help πŸ™

I guess the local authorities really like tea?

Oh lord, I thought op meant beeper as in the radio device. I'm an idiot.

A LOT OF KETTLES USE SOUND TO INDICATE STATE. IF YOU'RE NERVOUS YOU SHOULD ALERT YOUR LOCAL AUTHORITIES RATHER THAN WAIT. BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY.

if i didnt removed it, it would only have been a question of time until someone had to call the cops...

Do beeper services even exist anymore? I would think they all got displaced by cell phones long ago.

I believe they are used in some emergency situations because they use less bandwidth than cellphones and will work when other services won’t.
