====Cabin chimes and overhead panel lights==== {{unreferenced section|date=September 2021}} On most commercial airliners, flight attendants receive various forms of notification on board the aircraft in the form of [[Alarm device|audible chimes]] and coloured lights above their stations. While the colours and chimes are not universal and may vary between airlines and aircraft types, these colours and chimes are generally the most commonly used: * '''{{pink|Pink}}''' ([[Boeing]]) or '''{{red|Red}}''' ([[Airbus]]): [[Intercom|interphone]] calls from the cockpit to a flight attendant and/or interphone calls between two flight attendants, the latter case if a green light is not present or being used for the same purpose (steady with high-low chime), or all services emergency call (flashing with repeated high-low chime). On some airlines Airbus' aircraft (such as [[Delta Air Lines]]), this light is accompanied by a high-medium-low chime to call the purser. The [[Boeing 787 Dreamliner]] uses a separate red light to indicate a [[Sterile flight deck rule|sterile flight deck]] while using pink for interphone calls from the cockpit. * '''{{blue|Blue}}''': call from passenger in seat (steady with single high chime). * '''{{color|#FFBF00|Amber}}''': call from passenger in lavatory (steady with single high chime), or lavatory smoke detector set off (flashing with repeated high chime). * '''{{green|Green}}''': on some aircraft (some airlines Airbus aircraft, and the Boeing 787), this colour is used to indicate interphone calls between two flight attendants, distinguishing them from the pink or red light used for interphone calls made from the flight deck to a flight attendant, and is also accompanied with a high-low chime like the pink or red light. On the Boeing 787, a flashing green light with a repeated high-low chime is used to indicate a call to all flight attendant stations.
