At what point in the intensity should i start seeing the red dot?  It seems intensity levels 0-7 there is no dot there, but 8-12 its there and gets brighter with increasing intensities.  Is this normal for the T1?

Yes....normal for all Night Vision compatible Aimpoints.  The first several settings are for NV optics.  Congrats on your GREAT OPTIC.

Make sure the battery cover is tightened. I bought T1 new the day before a carbine class and couldn't figure out why the dot kept disappearing until finally realized the battery cover had not come tightened down from the factory.

The first four settings are NV and not visible with the naked eye.  After that, the dot is visible, but starts out very faint on the lower settings.  These tend to not be visible under bright conditions such as high noon sunlight.  But, they are extremely effective at dusk and dawn when there is not as much light and you need to make pinpoint shots.  The higher dot brightness settings are better used during the daylight but are too much at night or under low light.  You can use the lower brightness settings for longer shots during daylight by focusing on the dot as the intensity is decreased.  This makes the dot appear to shrink down to a 1-2MOA dot and is very useful for accurate point target fire at distances past 200 yards.
