Your new V650 is in storage mode, and it wakes up when you plug it into your computer’s USB port with the USB cable. We recommend that you charge the battery before you start using your V650. If the battery is completely empty, it takes a couple of minutes for the charging to start.
Always connect your V650 directly to your computer’s USB port. Do not connect it via USB hub, computer docking station or USB extension cable.
