A receiving photo record should be simple enough to repeat: package views first, accessory photos second, and device state after opening. This gives the reader a clear record without turning the receiving step into a complicated review.

Capture the unopened package from fixed angles
Photograph the front, back, label side, and any visible package note before opening. The same photo-first idea is used in the unboxing photo record guide.
Pair accessory photos with a simple list
After opening, photograph cables, cards, inserts, and the device together with a short accessory list. For item-level context, compare it with the Ledger accessory list check.
Add device state without changing the photo record
Power on the device only after package and accessory photos are complete. Write one line for the first screen or setup prompt. This keeps the photo record and device-state record easy to read.
Store receiving notes by date and model
Save the final note with date, model, package views, accessory list, and first screen. The broader unboxing path in the Ledger unboxing notes can help organize the next review step. Keep private setup details out of the receiving record.
