What to Check When Unboxing — A Seven-Step Inspection Flow
A deliberate unboxing flow catches 90% of the issues that get in the way of a safe first-time setup.
Seven steps
- Outer packaging is undamaged and the carrier label is intact.
- Factory tamper seal is continuous and unbroken.
- Inner packaging is sealed cleanly.
- All accessories listed on the spec sheet are present.
- Recovery Sheet is blank — any pre-written words = counterfeit.
- Power-on shows 'Welcome' with no prior data.
- Genuine Check inside Ledger Live returns green.
Safety reminder: Use only the official Ledger site and Ledger Live. Never type your recovery phrase or PIN into a webpage and never share them with anyone. Pause and verify the moment anything looks unusual.
