  2. Unlock Your Ledger Device: Enter your PIN code on the Ledger device to unlock it.

  3. Open Ledger Live: In Ledger Live, select "Set up as new device" if you're using your Ledger device for the first time, or "Restore device" if you're recovering an existing wallet using your recovery phrase.

  4. Follow the On-Screen Instructions: Ledger Live will guide you through the setup process, including verifying your device firmware, setting up a new PIN code, and generating a recovery phrase.

  5. Write Down Your Recovery Phrase: During setup, you'll be given a recovery phrase (also known as a seed phrase). Write down this phrase on the provided recovery sheet and keep it in a safe and secure location. This phrase is essential for recovering your wallet in case your Ledger device is lost, stolen, or damaged.

  6. Verify Your Recovery Phrase: After writing down your recovery phrase, Ledger Live will ask you to verify it by entering select words from the phrase. This ensures that you've recorded the recovery phrase accurately.
