Step-by-Step Setup Guide

Unbox your Ledger device and ensure it is sealed (to confirm authenticity).
Go to Ledger.com/Start.
Download and install Ledger Live for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, or Android.
Connect your Ledger device with the included USB cable or Bluetooth (Nano X).
Follow the on-screen instructions to set a PIN code and write down your 24-word recovery phrase.
Install the necessary cryptocurrency apps through Ledger Live and start managing your assets.

Security Best Practices

Never share your recovery phrase. Ledger will never ask for it.
Always download Ledger Live from the official Ledger website.
Keep your recovery sheet stored in a safe, offline place.
Verify addresses on your device before confirming transactions.

Important: If anyone asks for your 24-word recovery phrase, it is a scam. Protect it at all costs.
