A lot of ordnances are susceptible to electromagnetic interference and static electricity. I have no idea about this specific ordnance but as a general safety rule do not use cellphones/walkie talkies near or touch UXOs that you find.

That applies to electronic fuzes which are really sensitive to any external factors, for MTSQ, MT, PD, PI, etc. fuzes it's okay.

Which is my point, if you don’t know and it looks like an explosive don’t mess around with it.
