The device setup process at ledger.com/start is designed to be simple, secure, and beginner-friendly.

Even users with no technical background can complete it in minutes.

After unboxing your Ledger device, inspect it to ensure the packaging is sealed. Ledger devices do not come pre-configured. If a device already has a PIN or recovery phrase, do not use it.

Visit ledger.com/start, select your device model, and download Ledger Live. Install it and connect your device using USB or Bluetooth.

Power on the device and choose “Set up as new device.” Create a PIN code using the buttons. This code protects the device from unauthorized use.

Next, carefully write down the 24-word recovery phrase displayed on the screen. Confirm the words as instructed. This step ensures you have copied it correctly.

Once setup is complete, Ledger Live will prompt you to install cryptocurrency apps. You can start with Bitcoin or Ethereum and add more later.

Create accounts for each cryptocurrency to generate public addresses. Use these addresses to receive funds.

Test the setup by sending a small amount of crypto first. Confirm the transaction on the device to ensure everything works correctly.

You can customize Ledger Live to track portfolios, manage NFTs, and connect to decentralized applications.

If you ever need to reset the device, simply choose “Restore from recovery phrase” and enter your 24 words.

The setup process ensures that only you control your funds. By following the official steps at ledger.com/start, you avoid common mistakes and security risks.

With your device ready, you now have a powerful tool for long-term crypto storage and secure daily use.
