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 🙏

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.

Edit: Sorry folks. I thought op meant beeper as in the radio device. It's late where I am and I'm tired, hah. Was just trying to encourage a bit of safety.

I guess the local authorities really like tea?

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.
