Getting Started with Your Ledger Device

Welcome to the world of secure cryptocurrency management. Your Ledger hardware wallet provides the highest level of security for your digital assets by keeping your private keys offline, protected from online threats.

Step-by-Step Setup Guide

1. Download Ledger Live: Visit the official Ledger website to download Ledger Live for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).
2. Connect Your Device: Use the provided USB cable to connect your Ledger device to your computer.
3. Initialize Your Device: Follow the on-screen instructions on your Ledger device to set a PIN code. This PIN will be required every time you use your device.
4. Write Down Your Recovery Phrase: Your device will generate a 24-word recovery phrase. Write it down on your recovery sheet in the exact order shown. This phrase is your backup if your device is lost, stolen, or damaged.
5. Confirm Your Recovery Phrase: Your device will ask you to confirm several words from your recovery phrase to ensure you've written it down correctly.
6. Install Apps: Use Ledger Live to install apps for the cryptocurrencies you want to manage (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.).
