Begin by unboxing your Ledger device. Inside the package, you should find your hardware wallet, a USB cable, blank recovery phrase cards, and a quick-start guide. Inspect the device carefully to ensure it has not been tampered with. Your device should appear unused, without scratches or unusual wear. Ledger devices do not come with a pre-written recovery phrase—if you see a card with words already printed or written on it, stop immediately. This is a sign of tampering, and using such a device can put your assets at risk.
