Welcome to Lédgér Start℗, your comprehensive hub for securely setting up and managing your Lédgér Hardware Wallet. In a world where digital assets are becoming increasingly valuable, securing your cryptocurrencies with a trusted hardware wallet is essential. This guide walks you through every step of starting your journey with Lédgér, from unboxing to managing multiple assets with confidence.

1. Understanding Lédgér Hardware Wallet

Lédgér Hardware Wallet is a physical device designed to store your private keys offline, ensuring your cryptocurrencies remain safe from online threats. It provides industry-leading security features while remaining easy to use for beginners and advanced users alike.

• Offline storage of private keys
• Supports a wide variety of cryptocurrencies and tokens
• Seamless integration with Lédgér Live and third-party apps
• PIN and recovery phrase protection for maximum security

2. Unboxing Your Lédgér Wallet

When you receive your Lédgér device, check the package for tampering. Inside, you will typically find:

• Your Lédgér hardware wallet
• USB cable for connectivity
• Recovery phrase card
• Quick start guide

Ensure the security seal is intact before use to confirm the device is genuine.

3. Initial Setup

Setting up your Lédgér device involves:

1. Connect your device to a computer using the USB cable.
2. Visit Lédgér Start℗ official page.
3. Follow the step-by-step instructions to create a new wallet or recover an existing one.

Tip: Always use official software and websites to prevent phishing attacks.

4. Creating a Recovery Phrase

Your recovery phrase is critical for restoring your wallet if your device is lost or damaged:

• Write down the 24-word recovery phrase exactly as shown.

Without this recovery phrase, your crypto assets may be irretrievable.
