Step‑by‑Step Device Setup
Start by unboxing your Ledger device and checking that all components are included. Connect your device to your computer or smartphone. Go to the official site and download Ledger Live. Open the app and follow the on-screen instructions to initialize your device. This includes setting a secure PIN and writing down your 24‑word recovery phrase on the provided recovery sheet. After this, you’ll install the necessary apps and create accounts for the cryptocurrencies you want to manage.


Technical Security Overview
Ledger devices use a certified secure element to generate and store your private keys offline. Your 24‑word recovery phrase is created and displayed only on the device, keeping it away from internet exposure. Every transaction must be physically confirmed on your device, adding another layer of protection against unauthorized actions.


What You Can Do After Setup
After setup, you can use Ledger Live to send, receive, buy, sell, and swap a wide range of cryptocurrencies. You can also stake supported assets to earn rewards and connect to Web3 apps and decentralized finance platforms using Ledger's secure environment.


Best Practices for Ongoing Security
Always keep your recovery phrase offline and never share it with anyone. Only use the Ledger Live app downloaded from the official website. Regularly update your device firmware and Ledger Live software. Confirm all transaction details on the device screen before approving.


Troubleshooting and Support
If you face any issues during setup or use, you can access support directly through the Ledger Live app. Help is available for device connectivity, account syncing, and more. Remember, Ledger will never ask for your 24‑word recovery phrase under any circumstance.
