Welcome to Ledger.com/Start - Your Trusted Partner for Secure Bitcoin Trading

Ledger is a leading provider of high-quality hardware wallets designed to protect your cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin. With a Ledger hardware wallet, your digital assets are secure and your private keys are safe. This guide will help you set up your Ledger device and start trading Bitcoin securely, whether you're a beginner or an experienced trader.

Getting Started with Your Ledger Device

Unboxing Your Ledger Wallet

  1. When you receive your Ledger hardware wallet, check that the packaging is intact and the security seals are not tampered with. This ensures that your device has not been compromised.

Connecting Your Ledger Device

  1. Connect your Ledger device to your computer using the provided USB cable. For the Ledger Nano X, you can also connect via Bluetooth to your mobile device.

Accessing Ledger Live

  1. Download and install the Ledger Live application from the official Ledger website (ledger.com). Ledger Live is the companion app for your Ledger hardware wallet, enabling you to manage your cryptocurrencies and access various features.

Initializing Your Ledger Device

  1. Follow the on-screen instructions in Ledger Live to initialize your device. Choose "Create a new wallet" to set up a new wallet or "Restore from recovery phrase" if you have an existing one.

Creating a PIN Code

  1. Set up a secure PIN code for your Ledger device. This PIN will be required each time you connect your device, adding an extra layer of security.

Writing Down Your Recovery Phrase

  1. Your Ledger device will generate a 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is crucial for recovering your wallet if your device is lost or damaged. Write down the recovery phrase on the provided recovery sheet and store it in a safe place. Do not store it digitally or share it with anyone.

Confirming Your Recovery Phrase

  1. To ensure you have correctly recorded your recovery phrase, Ledger will ask you to confirm it by selecting the words in the correct order. This step verifies that you have saved your recovery phrase accurately.
