Apparatus and Method Pertaining to a Doorbell Chime Cover

A doorbell-chime cover for use with a doorbell chime having a chassis, a mechanical-cover identifier detector configured to detect a mechanical-cover identifier only when the cover is at least substantially disposed in an installed position with respect to the chassis, and an electronic chime mounted in the chassis and being operably coupled to the mechanical-cover identifier detector, wherein the electronic chime is configured to operate in a first normal mode of operation when the mechanical-cover identifier detector detects the cover and in a second mode of operation that is different than the first mode of operation when the mechanical-cover identifier detector does not detect the cover, the doorbell chime cover comprising:

• a cover configured to cover at least a substantial portion of the chassis when disposed in an installed position;
• a mechanical-cover identifier having a shape and being disposed so as to be detectable by the mechanical-cover identifier detector when the doorbell chime cover is disposed in the installed position;
• such that the doorbell chime will operate differently depending upon whether the doorbell-chime cover is disposed in the installed position.
