When you first receive your SecureLedger, ensure the packaging is intact and hasn’t been tampered with. The box should contain:

  • SecureLedger hardware device
  • USB cable
  • Recovery phrase cards
  • Quick start guide
  • Warranty card

Inspect the device carefully for any damage or anomalies. If something seems off, contact support immediately.

Follow these steps to set up your SecureLedger for the first time:

  1. Connect your device to your computer using the provided USB cable.
  2. Follow the on-screen instructions to select your PIN code. Choose a secure, memorable code.
  3. Write down your 24-word recovery phrase on the provided recovery card. Never store it digitally.
  4. Confirm your recovery phrase by following the device instructions. This ensures you can recover your device if lost or damaged.

Ledger Live is the official companion app for your device. It allows you to manage accounts, send and receive crypto, and monitor balances. To install:

  • Download the Ledger Live software from official website.
  • Follow the installation prompts for your operating system.
  • Open Ledger Live and connect your SecureLedger device.
  • Create a new account or import existing accounts securely.

Ledger Live will guide you through device firmware updates and security checks. Always ensure your device firmware is up to date.

Once Ledger Live is connected, you can start managing accounts:

  • Send and receive funds securely using your device for verification.
  • View account history and real-time balance updates.

Each transaction must be confirmed physically on your SecureLedger device, ensuring unauthorized access is impossible.

Step 5: Backing Up and Recovery

Backing up your recovery phrase is critical. To secure your assets:

  • Store your recovery phrase in multiple safe locations offline.
  • Never share your recovery phrase with anyone.
