A recovery phrase prompt during Ledger setup should be judged from the device screen and the setup order, not from memory or from a mixed page note. The record should say what type of prompt appeared, where it appeared, and what step came before it.
Read the prompt on the device screen
Start with the hardware screen. Record the prompt type, language, and button direction without writing recovery words. The related explanation in the setup phrase prompt guide helps keep this as a screen-state review.
Place the prompt in the setup order
Next, write what step happened immediately before the prompt. A prompt shown during a new setup path and a prompt shown during a restore path belong to different records, so the step order matters.
Check the app entry without copying private data
Open the expected app path and record the page state, device-recognition state, and any next-step wording. For phrase review habits, use the recovery phrase verification note as a boundary reference.
Keep recovery notes offline and minimal
The final note should include screen prompt, setup path, app entry, and date. It should not include PINs or recovery words. For ongoing storage context, the recovery phrase protection guide explains the offline record boundary.
