What does a one hi/lo chime with a flashing red light indicate?

This pattern signals an emergency call from the flight deck. The system uses distinct sounds and lights to show who is contacting you and how urgent the situation is, and a hi/lo two-tone chime with a flashing red light is reserved for when the pilots need immediate assistance or are communicating an urgent issue. When you hear it, respond right away, establish contact with the flight deck, and follow the emergency procedures. Calls from other sources, like lavatories or passengers, use different chime patterns and light indicators, so they wouldn’t produce this same red-flashing alert.
