Inside your Ledger wallet box, you’ll find:

• Your Ledger hardware wallet (Ledger Nano S, Nano X, or another model).
• A USB cable for connecting to your computer.

Plug the Ledger device into your computer or mobile device using the provided USB cable. Your Ledger will display an initial setup screen.
