Inside your Ledger package, you will find the device, a USB cable, recovery sheets, and instructions. Always ensure your Ledger is purchased directly from the official site or authorized resellers to avoid tampering. Safety begins the moment you open the box.
Connect your Ledger device to your computer or smartphone using the provided cable. Visit Ledger.com/Start and follow the official on-screen guide to install the latest Ledger Live app. The app allows you to create a new wallet or restore an existing one using your recovery phrase.
During setup, you will be provided with a unique 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is the key to accessing your crypto if your device is lost or damaged.
