Initialize Your Device

Follow the on-screen instructions to initialize your device. You'll be prompted to install the latest firmware to ensure your device has the most recent security updates.

4

Create Your Recovery Seed

Your device will generate a unique recovery seed phrase—typically 12, 18, or 24 words. Write these down exactly as shown and store them in a secure location. Never digitize your seed phrase.

5

Set Up PIN Protection

Add an extra layer of security by setting up a PIN code. This prevents unauthorized physical access to your device.

Access Your Wallet

Once setup is complete, you can access your wallet, receive cryptocurrencies, and manage your assets securely.
