Begin by unboxing your Ledger device and connecting it to your computer or smartphone using the supplied USB or Bluetooth connection.

Once Ledger Live is downloaded, follow the on-screen setup instructions. You’ll install the latest firmware, which guarantees your device’s authenticity and security.

Write it down carefully on paper and store it securely offline. Never share it digitally, and beware of phishing attempts.
After setup, open Ledger Live to install crypto apps, manage your portfolio, and send or receive assets. Each transaction must be verified physically on your Ledger device screen, ensuring no unauthorized access can occur even if your computer is compromised.
