When do I know my Chi Flat Iron is ready?

I looked through the user's guide but I couldn't find anything about it. All it said was that the light may flash when it's going through the heating cycles, and there are no settings you can choose for your hair type. But I don't know how to tell when it's fully heated. Will the light stop flashing?

Can you stil return it? I've had a Remington Wet-To-Straight for well over a year now and it works better than my best friends chi. Its fast, takes about 5 minutes to get to the hottest temo, but is ready to use in three or four if you choose a lower setting. Its only 20.00 or so at Bed Bath and Beyond, Target, and Wal-Mart. If not... put a drop of water on it.. if it hisses a bit it should be ready...
