Step-by-Step Setup Process
  1. Unbox Your Device
    Make sure the packaging is intact and that the device is not preconfigured. Ledger devices are shipped with a tamper-proof seal.

  3. Initialize the Device
  • Connect your Ledger device to your computer or mobile device.
  • Choose "Set up as new device."
  • Create a secure PIN code.
  • Write down your 24-word recovery phrase and store it securely offline.
  1. Verify Recovery Phrase
    You'll be asked to confirm a few words from your recovery phrase to ensure it’s correctly backed up.
  2. Pair with Ledger Live
  • Open Ledger Live.
  • Follow the prompts to connect your device.
  • Install apps for the cryptocurrencies you want to manage.
Security Tips
  • Always access Ledger Live or setup instructions by manually typing ledger.com/start into your browser.
  • Never share your 24-word recovery phrase with anyone. Ledger will never ask for it.
  • Avoid third-party sites or unofficial apps when setting up or managing your wallet.
  • Store your recovery phrase offline in a secure location. Do not store it digitally (e.g., in cloud storage, screenshots, or notes apps).
