1. Unbox & inspect
Check the device packaging for tamper evidence. Only proceed if the package is intact and sealed per manufacturer guidance.
2. Initialize offline
Power the device and create a new wallet using the device screen. Generate your recovery seed while the device is offline.
3. Write down and secure your seed
Write the seed on paper or a steel backup plate. Store it physically and separately from the device. Never photograph or upload it.
4. Set a device PIN and optional passphrase
A PIN prevents unwanted physical access. Adding a passphrase creates hidden wallets — treat it like a second secret.
5. Receive a small test amount
Test the setup with a small transfer. Confirm the receiving address visually on the device screen before sending.
6. Use with compatible wallet software
When sending funds, review the transaction details on both the computer screen and the device display before confirming.
7. Backup & recovery practice
Practice recovery in a safe offline environment. Make sure you or a trusted person can recover from the seed if the device is lost.
Security tips
- Never reveal your seed or passphrase.
- Keep firmware updated from official sources only.
- Prefer air-gapped or verified companion software for high-value transfers.
