Ledger Flex setup<\/strong> is best done step by step, from checking the box contents to completing your first test transaction. If you have just received a Ledger Flex<\/a><\/strong>, this guide will walk you through installing Ledger Wallet, running Genuine Check, creating a new wallet, writing down your Secret Recovery Phrase, and setting up your recovery options.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We follow Ledger\u2019s current setup flow for Ledger Flex and the company\u2019s official documentation. Ledger Wallet\u2019s interface and individual button labels can change between releases, so we use exact menu names only where they are stable and genuinely useful for completing a step<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Ledger Live is now called Ledger Wallet.<\/strong> If you see Ledger Live in an older video or guide, it refers to the previous name of the same companion app. Download it only from Ledger\u2019s official download page<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Ledger Flex setup: what to know before you start<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Ledger Flex stores and uses your private keys inside the Secure Element. The touchscreen Secure Screen is also controlled by the secure chip, so critical transaction details should be verified on the Flex itself<\/strong>, not only in the app on your phone or computer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For normal use with Ledger Wallet, Flex connects to a computer over USB-C or to a smartphone over Bluetooth<\/strong>. NFC on Flex is used for other features, including Ledger Recovery Key and Ledger Security Key, and is not the primary connection method for Ledger Wallet.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In hardware terms, Flex has a 2.84-inch E Ink display with a 480 \u00d7 600 resolution<\/strong> and 16 shades of gray, an ST33K1M5 Secure Element certified to CC EAL6+, a 200 mAh battery, dimensions of 78.4 \u00d7 56.5 \u00d7 7.7 mm, and a weight of 57.5 g. E Ink uses very little power, so Flex can sit unused for a long time without charging, while the lock-screen image remains visible without constant power.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
