How to Set Up Your Ledger Device 🛠️

Follow these step-by-step instructions to safely set up your Ledger Nano X, S, or S Plus:

Unbox and Verify
Check the anti-tamper packaging and make sure nothing is pre-installed. Your box should include:
- 1× Ledger device
- 1× USB cable
- Recovery sheets
- User guides
Connect Your Device
Plug your Ledger into your computer using the USB cable. You’ll see “Welcome” on screen.
Go to ledger.com/start
This is the official place to download Ledger Live. Only trust this URL.
Install Ledger Live
Download for your OS, install, and open. Ledger Live is the companion app that manages your wallet.
Initialize Your Ledger
Choose Set up as new device and follow the on-screen instructions. Your Ledger will now ask you to create a PIN.
Write Down Your Recovery Phrase
Carefully record the 24-word phrase shown on your device. This is your backup. Never save it digitally.
Verify Recovery Phrase
Re-enter the words in order to confirm you've written them down correctly. Take your time.
Install Apps & Add Accounts
From Ledger Live, install coin-specific apps and add accounts (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum).
You're Ready!
You can now receive, send, and manage your crypto securely with your Ledger device.

⚠️ WARNING: If someone else sees your recovery phrase, they can access your funds.

Security Essentials 🔐

Your Ledger device is secure by design, but you still need to follow best practices:

🔐 Keep your PIN secret and don’t share it with anyone.
🧾 Store your recovery phrase offline — never take a photo or screenshot.
📤 Verify every transaction on the device screen before approving.
🖥️ Keep your firmware up to date using Ledger Live.
💼 Enable “passphrase” protection for an extra layer of encryption (advanced users).

🧠 Pro Tip: Use a fireproof safe or metal recovery sheet to store your seed words securely.
