Initialize Your Device™
Welcome to the official start page for setting up your Ledger device. Ledger is your trusted partner for securing your cryptocurrency assets. This page will guide you through every step to initialize your device and begin your journey in securing your digital assets.
Before you proceed, ensure that you have your Ledger device, a stable internet connection, and a secure environment to set up your device. Ledger devices are designed to keep your cryptocurrency safe by storing your private keys offline. Here's how you can begin the process:
Your Ledger device will arrive in a secure package. Check to make sure the device is not damaged and that all components are intact. You should see your Ledger hardware wallet and a recovery sheet.
Now, power on your device by connecting it to your computer or mobile device. Follow the instructions on the device screen to get started with initialization. You will be asked to choose a PIN code for security purposes.
Once your device is set up, you'll be asked to generate a recovery phrase. This is a crucial step to back up your wallet. Write down the 24 words on the provided recovery sheet, store it safely offline, and never share it with anyone.
