🔐Official Site™ | Ledger Wallet | Getting Started

Welcome to your official guide on getting started with your Ledger Wallet — the trusted hardware wallet designed to keep your cryptocurrency safe and in your control. This step-by-step tutorial will guide you through the setup, backup, and secure management of your digital assets.

📦Unboxing Your Ledger Device

When you receive your Ledger wallet, ensure the packaging is sealed and untampered to guarantee authenticity. Inside, you’ll find:

• 💼 Ledger hardware wallet (Ledger Nano S, Nano S Plus, or Nano X)
• 🔌 USB or USB-C cable for connection
• 📝 Recovery sheet for your backup phrase
• 📖 Quick start guide

Always purchase from official sources or authorized resellers to avoid counterfeit products.

🔗Connecting Your Ledger Wallet

To begin setup:

1. 🔌 Connect your Ledger device to your computer or mobile device via USB cable or Bluetooth (Nano X).
2. 🔆 Your device screen will light up and prompt you to start the setup.
3. 🌐 On your computer, open your browser and navigate to the official Ledger Live download page: https://www.ledger.com/ledger-live.
4. ⬇️ Download and install Ledger Live, the companion software that manages your wallet.

🖥️Installing and Setting Up Ledger Live

Ledger Live is your gateway to managing your crypto securely. Once installed:

• 🚀 Open Ledger Live and follow the prompts to initialize your device.
• 🔒 Choose “Initialize as new device” if this is your first Ledger, or “Restore device” if you have a recovery phrase.
• 📲 Set up a PIN code directly on your Ledger device for protection.

🔐Creating Your PIN Code

The PIN code protects your device from unauthorized access. Keep these tips in mind:

• 🔢 Choose a PIN between 4-8 digits.
• ⚠️ Avoid predictable sequences such as “1234” or birth dates.
• 🧠 Memorize your PIN; if forgotten, you will need your recovery phrase to regain access.

📝Backing Up Your Recovery Phrase

Your recovery phrase (usually 24 words) is the most critical piece of information for your crypto security:

• ✍️ Carefully write down the recovery phrase on the recovery sheet provided.
• 🛡️ Store it offline in a secure, private location (fireproof safe recommended).
• 🚫 Never save it digitally or share it with anyone.
• ⚠️ Losing this phrase means losing access to your assets forever.

Important: Ledger support will never ask for your recovery phrase.

• 📥 Receive cryptocurrencies by generating wallet addresses safely.
