Quick start: set up your Ledger device

1) Unbox your Ledger device and verify the tamper-evident seal. Only use the sealed packaging delivered from an authorized reseller.

2) Install Ledger Live on your preferred device and follow the on-screen prompts to create a new wallet or restore an existing one from your recovery phrase.

3) Securely record the recovery phrase shown by the device. This phrase is your last resort to recover your crypto — keep it offline and private.

4) Confirm firmware updates and add the apps for the cryptocurrencies you want to manage. Use Ledger Live for firmware integrity checks and official app installs.

Security reminders (official guidance)

  • Always buy devices from Ledger or an authorized reseller to avoid tampered units.
  • Never share your recovery phrase — Ledger staff or support will never ask for it.
  • Keep firmware and Ledger Live up to date to benefit from security improvements and compatibility updates.
  • Use the official Ledger support center for troubleshooting and verified instructions. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
