Ledger.com/start: Let's Get Your New Ledger Ready
Welcome to Ledger.com/start! This is where you get your new Ledger device ready to keep your crypto safe. Think of it like setting up a super-secure vault for your digital money. We’ll guide you through each simple step.
First, Let’s Get Everything You Need:
Before you start, please have these things ready:
- Your new Ledger device (Nano S Plus or Nano X).
- The USB cable that came in the box.
- A computer or a phone.
- A good internet connection.
- A pen and the paper recovery sheet from your box.
Now, Follow These 4 Easy Steps:
1. Download Ledger Live
This is the app you need to manage your crypto. Only download it from the official website: Ledger.com. It’s free and safe.
2. Connect Your Device
Plug your Ledger into your computer using the cable. The screen will light up! Follow the instructions you see on the device's screen.
3. Your Secret PIN Code
You will create a PIN code. This is like a secret number that locks your device. No one else should know it. It keeps your crypto safe if your device is ever lost.
4. Your Most Important Task: The Recovery Phrase
This is the biggest step. Your device will show you 24 words in a specific order.
- Write them down on your recovery sheet with a pen. Do not take a picture. Do not type them on your computer.
- Keep this paper safe. It is the only way to get your crypto back if your device breaks or gets lost. It is your master key.
That’s it! You’re all set.
Now you can use Ledger Live to safely buy, send, receive, and grow your crypto. Every transaction is protected by your device.
