Start Your Ledger Device Setup

Welcome to Ledger.com/Start, the official portal for setting up your Ledger hardware wallet. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced user, this guide walks you through every step of the initialization process. Setting up a Ledger device is essential for ensuring secure crypto asset management. This page will help you install Ledger Live, configure your device, generate your recovery phrase, and begin managing your digital assets safely.

1. Unbox Your Ledger Device

Inside your Ledger package, you will find your hardware wallet, a USB cable, recovery sheets, and documentation. Ensure everything is sealed and untampered. Ledger devices are designed with advanced security features that protect your private keys offline.

2. Download Ledger Live

Ledger Live is the official application that allows you to manage your crypto assets. You can download it directly from Ledger.com/Start for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, or Android. Always ensure you're downloading from the official Ledger website.

3. Connect Your Ledger Device

Use the USB cable to connect your Ledger device to your computer or smartphone. Ledger Live will automatically detect your device and guide you through the initial setup process.

4. Create or Restore a Wallet

If you're setting up your device for the first time, select "Initialize as New Device." Your Ledger will generate a 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is crucial and must be stored securely offline. Never share it with anyone. If restoring an existing wallet, choose "Restore from Recovery Phrase" and enter your 24-word phrase using the device buttons.

5. Install Apps on Ledger Live

Each supported cryptocurrency requires its own app on your Ledger device. Using Ledger Live, navigate to the "My Ledger" section, install the apps you need, and begin managing your digital assets.

6. Start Managing Crypto

After your apps are installed, you can start sending, receiving, and storing crypto safely. Ledger hardware wallets ensure your private keys are kept offline, giving you a high level of protection against online threats.

Additional Security Tips

• Never share your 24-word recovery phrase with anyone.
• Always download Ledger Live from the official Ledger website.
• Enable additional security options such as a PIN and passphrase.
• Keep your device firmware updated through Ledger Live.
