Abstract
A doorbell chime () can comprise a chassis (), a cover () having a mechanical-cover identifier (), a mechanical-cover identifier detector () (to detect when the cover is at least substantially disposed in the installed position), and a chime () mounted in the chassis. This chime is configured to operate in a first 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.
