Quick Start
First, press the power button to turn on the OneKey hardware wallet, and follow the instructions to set up the system language.
Press any key to enter the interface. Select [Create] to create a new wallet, follow the on-screen instructions to start creating a new wallet, click [Continue], and select the number of recovery phrases. Here we take 12 words as an example.
Follow the instructions and copy the seed words. Seed phrases are the only way for you to recover your wallet. Please keep them properly and do not record them on any electronic device, nor publish or register them on any network channel to ensure the security of assets. After the copy is completed, follow the instructions to complete the verification of the seed phrases.
Next, you need to set up a PIN code yourself, which is similar to the withdrawal password for a bank card. The numbers are from 1 to 9, without 0. Note that if you only set 6 digits, you can select √ on the seventh digit.
Important: When entering the PIN code, you must remember the PIN code. You will need to enter the PIN code to unlock the hardware wallet. Entering the PIN code incorrectly 10 times will cause the hardware wallet to reset.
After that, it shows that the wallet has been created successfully and can be used by connecting the OneKey desktop, OneKey browser extension, or OneKey App.
The recovery phrase is the only way for you to recover your wallet. Please keep it properly. Do not record it on any electronic device, nor publish or register it on any network channel to ensure the security of your assets.
Verify Recovery Phrase
After activation, we need to verify the recovery phrase to ensure that your recovery phrase has been copied correctly and can be used to restore your address. The main steps are as follows:
Verify the address. Connect the activated Classic to the desktop, display, and record the first address generated by default.
Reset the device and import the recovery phrase. Reset the Classic to clear the data and the Classic will return to its inactive state. Then you will be able to restore your wallet by importing the recovery phrase you just wrote.
Verify and confirm the address. After successful restoration, connect the Classic to the desktop and check if the first address generated by default is the same as the address in step 1.
To do this, follow these steps:
Open the official OneKey website https://onekey.so/download , select the corresponding version for your computer's operating system to download, and follow the instructions to install. (Here is an example for Win 10)
Use a data cable to connect the activated hardware wallet to the computer, select [Create Wallet] - [Hardware Wallet] on the desktop, enter the PIN code on the Classic, and complete the connection.
Note: Some users using MAC devices need to use a USB adapter port for connection.
If the desktop remains in the following state, please check the connection of the hardware wallet to your computer. You can try unplugging the device or replacing the USB cable/port. Sometimes the cable may appear to be working with power, but the transmission voltage is unstable and the device is still not recognized.
You can also open the Bridge status page: http://127.0.0.1:21320/status/ to see if this page displays correctly. If it is not open, download and install Bridge at https://onekey.so/download?client=bridge.
After connecting to the desktop, the first account address will be displayed by default. Click [Receive] to record the receiving address.
Next, we will verify the address. Keep the seed phrase words you wrote down during activation. Then, press any key on the hardware wallet to enter the options interface, select Security, and then select Reset to reset the device. After the reset is complete, return to the boot interface, set the system language, and enter the inactive state.
Press any key to enter the interface, select Restore to restore the wallet, enter the seed words you wrote down previously, and verify them. After completion, you need to reset the PIN code for the hardware wallet. After the setup is completed, the wallet is restored successfully.
At this time, open the desktop. Select [Menu] - [Reset App] to clear the previous history.
Then return to the welcome page and repeat the previous steps. Select [Create Wallet] - [Hardware Wallet], enter the PIN code on the Classic and connect to complete, continue to select [Receive] - Display receiving address.
Check if the address at this point is the same as the previously recorded address. If the addresses match, the verification is complete and the recovery phrase matches the address.
You have now completed the setup of your hardware wallet.
