A SIMPLE SETUP JOURNEY
THE BASICS

A simple setup
journey.

Go one step at a time. A careful first setup helps you understand how your device works before you use it to manage digital assets.

01

Connect your device

Use the appropriate cable and follow instructions displayed by the official software. Check that your device behaves as expected before continuing.

02

Initialize carefully

Follow the prompts shown on your hardware wallet. Read each screen carefully and never rush through security-related steps or approve unexpected actions.

03

Verify before use

Confirm your device and software are genuine and up to date. Before signing a transaction, review the details shown on the physical device itself.

KEEP YOURSELF SAFE

Security comes
first. Always.

A hardware wallet helps keep important operations isolated from potentially unsafe environments. Good security habits are still essential.

  • ✓ Use official software and documentation.
  • ✓ Verify transaction details on your device.
  • ✓ Keep recovery information offline.
  • ✓ Never share your recovery phrase.
  • ✓ Ignore unsolicited support requests.
STAY ALERT

Watch for fake login pages.

Scammers may imitate wallet brands, support portals, or account pages. A legitimate service should never ask you to enter your secret recovery phrase into an unexpected webpage.

Know where to get help

Important: Never enter a recovery phrase, private key, PIN, or other secret wallet information into a webpage because a message or pop-up asks you to.

HERE WHEN YOU NEED IT

Need help getting started?

If something does not look right, stop before approving a transaction or entering sensitive information. Return to the official manufacturer documentation and verify the instructions. Use trusted support channels—not links in unsolicited emails, messages, or social posts.
