Setting up your Ledger device is essential for securing your cryptocurrency safely. Ledger.com/start provides a guided, step-by-step experience to ensure your crypto assets remain protected. This guide covers everything from unboxing to initial setup and security best practices.

🛠️ 1. Unboxing Your Ledger Device

When you receive your Ledger Nano S or Nano X, check that the packaging is untampered. Inside, you’ll find:

• Ledger device (Nano S / Nano X)
• USB cable ⚡
• Recovery sheet for your 24-word seed phrase
• Instruction leaflet

Always verify the device is genuine by checking ledger.com/start for authenticity tips.

💻 2. Connecting to Ledger Live

1. Go to ledger.com/start on your computer.
2. Download Ledger Live compatible with your OS (Windows, macOS, Linux).
3. Open the app and select your device model.
4. Follow on-screen prompts to connect via USB or Bluetooth (Nano X only).

Ledger Live is your hub for managing accounts, sending/receiving crypto, and firmware updates. ⚡

🔐 3. Initial Device Setup

1. Turn on your Ledger device.
2. Select “Set up as new device”.
3. Create a PIN code (4–8 digits). This protects your device from unauthorized access.
4. Your device will display a 24-word recovery phrase. Write it down exactly in order. This is your only backup if your device is lost or stolen.

💡 Tip: Never store your recovery phrase digitally or share it. Ledger employees will never ask for it.

💾 4. Installing Apps & Managing Crypto

Ledger devices support multiple cryptocurrencies via apps:

• Open Ledger Live → Manage → Install Apps
• Select coins like BTC, ETH, XRP
• Each app allows you to create accounts, receive/send funds, and check balances securely.

Ledger Live ensures transactions are signed offline, keeping your private keys safe from online threats. 🔒

✅ 5. Security Best Practices

• Enable Ledger Live passcode.
• Regularly update device firmware.
• Verify transaction details on the device screen before confirming.
