If you accidentally stun another electronic device like a cell phone in the same pocket, will it fry the electronic components in the phone or device?

Well, I had recently watched a YouTube video of a guy shocking an iPhone 6 plus, it totally fried the battery in about 10 seconds. So my guess would be it would either damage it or ruin it totally.

No it won't fry your battery ..it charges the battery good and there is a light on it that changes from red to blue when fully charged

The phone will not work without power. Even if power was available, the phone will disconnect when you switch from the hand unit to the speaker phone. Stay away from it! It's junk.

I would NOT recommend that. You would be potentially overloading it's designed protection capacity and could damage your electronics.

No. As soon as you plug in the charger, your phone/stuff will do an emergency shutdown. All that happens to my stuff atleast.

Yes. Absolutely, and if anyone wants to argue differently, I'll be happy to forward the pictures of my burnt out Bestek and the charred internal control board. Nothing but a laptop drawing current when this happened. If the manufacturer is reading this, experienced a control board fire in the vicinity of capacitors 2 & 14, and Diodes 6,7,8,9. Yes, my breaker tripped at the box, but not before the damage, and it was anything but overloaded. The fire literally shot out of the *grounding receptacle* (bursting capacitor maybe?), which burned a hole in my sleeve and another on my thumb. There's a good chance your fire insurance is invalidated by using non UL listed products -and as I discovered today, for good reason. I've permanently retired all three of mine and won't be looking back.

No, you still will get shocked if you touch the cables carrying 110 V. It only isolates one circuit of 110V from the other, preventing ground loops and HF interferences

When switched off, no power gets to your appliance, so I cannot see how a power surge would effect the appliance. However, the Belkin switch may be *fried* after a power surge.

Yes. I've carried it many of times. Just make sure its charged and you can prove its a charger in case you get asked about it. As with cell phones, If it doesn't turn on or charge your phone they may take it due to the possibility of it containing explosive. Welcome to the new world we live in.

No. That problem would happen if the proxcematy senser is not reconnected properly not because of the screen.

No, if you look closely, there is a button and a slide switch onthe same surface of the flashlight. The slide switch turns the light on... the red button activates the stun. Both cannot be activated at the same time. So if the light is on you won't inadvertently shock too.I got this for my wife and she loves it. Of note... the light is really bright too.

Instructions say to eject CD to prevent damage. I haven't tried it so my guess would be no. This doesn't bother me because I always plug in my phone and stream music. This is the first use I've had for my CD player in years.

Oh, yes! I returned my unit before ever using it. For emergencies, I put a cell phone in a small bag attached to a lanyard.

Really depends on if you take a direct hit. Then it will probably fail. Normally this device will handle multiple surges before failure. How many depends on severity.

Yes, you have to touch the person to shock them. There are contact points on the front of the unit and they have to touch the person. BTW, you may have also noticed two sideways prongs sort of facing each other. When you press the button to fire the unit an arc flies between these two points making a loud electrical noise and a bright light and I think this alone would scare a lot of muggers, purse snatchers, etc. It's pretty loud and frightening.

Yes....but you are taking a chance, they could damage your charger. Read the reviews about the meltdown problem, It happened to me.

yes you should be concerned first of all it won't fit back into your phone properly second is a lithium-ion battery they have been known to explode they're cheap enough throw it away get a new one
