When it comes to protecting your digital assets, every second counts. Ledger offers one of the most trusted and advanced solutions for cryptocurrency security. If you've just received your Ledger device, you’re only a few simple steps away from securing your crypto quickly and safely.
Before anything else, inspect your Ledger device packaging carefully. Ledger products come with tamper-evident packaging to ensure that your device has not been interfered with during shipping. Inside the box, you’ll find your Ledger hardware wallet, a USB cable, recovery sheets, and setup instructions.
Connect and Power On
Use the provided USB cable to connect your Ledger device to your computer or smartphone. Once connected, the device will power up, and you’ll be guided by clear instructions directly on the screen. Navigation is easy with the device’s physical buttons, which allow you to move through the menu and confirm actions securely.
Ledger Live is the official application used to manage your crypto assets. Download it directly from the official Ledger website. Ledger Live acts as your command center, allowing you to install apps, check your balances, and manage transactions safely.
As part of the setup, Ledger will create a brand-new wallet for you. Your device will display a unique 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is your master key — if your device is lost, stolen, or damaged, your funds can only be recovered with this phrase. Write it down carefully and store it in a safe, offline location. Never share your recovery phrase with anyone or enter it online.
You’ll be prompted to create a PIN code to protect access to your device. Choose a strong PIN that’s easy for you to remember but difficult for anyone else to guess. The PIN acts as your device’s first layer of security.
Once you complete the setup, you can start sending, receiving, and managing cryptocurrencies with full peace of mind. Ledger supports a wide range of crypto assets, giving you secure control over your portfolio.
Conclusion
With Ledger.com/Start®, you can activate, set up, and secure your digital assets in just a few minutes. Take control of your crypto future today with the power of Ledger’s trusted technology.
