Welcome to Your Device Start Guide
This page provides a clear, secure, and friendly guide to help you begin using your hardware wallet. You will learn how to set up your device, install the required software, create a recovery backup, and ensure your digital assets remain safe. The following steps are written in simple, beginner-friendly language to help ensure that every user—from newcomers to long-time crypto enthusiasts—can follow along with confidence.
1. Connect Your Device
Start by connecting your hardware wallet to your computer using the cable provided in the box. Once plugged in, the device will power on automatically and present you with an introductory welcome message. If this is your first time using the device, you may be prompted to either create a new wallet or recover an existing one. For new users, creating a fresh wallet is the recommended choice because it ensures that you’re starting with a completely secure, unique, and unused recovery seed.
2. Install the Desktop Suite
To manage your device, monitor your cryptocurrency balances, and perform transactions, you will need a desktop application specifically designed for secure communication with the hardware wallet. After installing the application, launch it and follow the on-screen guide. The suite will automatically detect your device and walk you step-by-step through the setup process. Throughout this process, security is always prioritized—your private keys never leave your device, and any sensitive actions require on-device confirmation.
3. Create a Recovery Backup
One of the most important responsibilities of a hardware wallet owner is keeping their recovery seed safe. During the setup process, your device will generate a list of secret recovery words. These words are the only way to regain access to your wallet if your device is ever lost, stolen, or damaged. Write these words down on the provided recovery card and store them somewhere offline and secure. Never take photos, upload them, or store them digitally. Anyone with access to these words can control your funds.
4. Personalize and Explore
After completing your backup, you can personalize elements such as your device label, security PIN, and other optional settings. The desktop suite includes an intuitive dashboard where you can manage your coins, check balances, and review transaction history. Spend a moment exploring the interface so you can become familiar with the tools available to you. The goal is to give you full transparency and control over your digital assets, while ensuring the highest level of protection.
