Ledger Nano S Plus - Setting up Your Ledger Nano S Plus

2  Setting up your Ledger Nano S Plus
To get started, you can either set up your Ledger Nano S Plus as a new device or restore
your device from your recovery phrase:
● Set up your Nano S Plus as a new device: it will generate new private keys so you
can manage your crypto assets. You will also write down a new 24-word recovery
phrase, the only backup of your private keys.
● Restore your device from a recovery phrase: it will recover the private keys linked
to an existing recovery phrase.
Important disclaimer
When you first receive a Ledger wallet, it must always be initialized by following this
process: plugging in the device, generating a pin code, and then generating 24 words.
If you were to receive a device containing a pre-completed recovery phrase or a pin
code, you should not use the device, as it means that the device may have already
been used by somebody else.
Ledger will never provide a pin code or recovery phrase with the product, nor ever ask
for them. Under these circumstances, you must contact Ledger customer support.
