Narrative:
On takeoff before V1, the windshield light illuminated briefly. I called abort and we aborted the takeoff, taxied clear of the runway, and consulted the QRH and all applicable checklists. The QRH indicated that a flashing windshield light indicated the windshield was operating in overheat mode which is acceptable for flight. However, by the time we cleared the runway, the light was out and remained off. The windshield indicator was showing on and the windshield was warm to the touch. Since all indications were normal, we continued the flight. The windshield heat functioned normally throughout the flight. On taxi to the gate at our destination, the captain saw the windshield caption flicker. Maintenance was called after the passenger were deplaned and notified about the second event. Maintenance reported that the windshield system was operating normally.
