Overview — What this guide covers

This document is a compact, presentation-style walkthrough (~1000 words) that introduces the core steps to get started with Ledger devices and Ledger.com/Start®. It also highlights useful Office resources for documentation, templates, and collaboration.

Quick-start: 5 essential steps

1. Visit Ledger.com/Start® — follow the official start page for device setup instructions and downloads.
2. Download Ledger Live — install the Ledger companion app on your desktop or mobile as instructed on the start page.
3. Initialize your device — choose Create a new wallet or Restore from recovery phrase and write down your recovery phrase securely.
4. Install apps — via Ledger Live, install the cryptocurrency apps you need (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.).
5. Practice safe storage — keep your recovery phrase offline in secure, separate locations and never share it.

Best practices for security and office integration

When onboarding Team members or preserving company policies, combine Ledger security steps with Office collaboration:

• Create a concise setup checklist in Word and share via OneDrive.
• Host onboarding walkthroughs using Teams and record sessions for later reference.
• Keep policy templates in Office Templates to standardize retention and recovery procedures.
• Use secure password management and ensure recovery phrases remain offline and outside digital stores like cloud notes.

Troubleshooting & common questions

If the device does not connect, retry USB/BT pairing and confirm Ledger Live is up-to-date. For recovery issues, consult Ledger's official support and Office support templates for escalation logs and contact tracking.

Common quick checks:

• Confirm cable integrity and USB port (or Bluetooth pairing).
• Ensure latest firmware via Ledger Live.
• Check official start page for compatibility notes (Ledger.com/Start).
