Quick Start
First, press the power button to turn on the OneKey hardware wallet, and follow the on-screen instructions to set up the system language.
Press any button 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 will take 12 words as an example.
Follow the instructions and copy the mnemonic words. The seed phrase is the only way you can recover your wallet. Please keep it safe, do not record it on any electronic devices, do not share or save it on any network channels to ensure the security of your assets. After copying, follow the instructions to perform the mnemonic phrase verification.
Next, you need to set a PIN code manually, which is similar to the withdrawal password of a bank card. The numbers are 1-9, without 0. Please note that if you only set 6 digits, you can select √ on the 7th digit.
Important: Once you set the PIN code, you must remember it. You will need to enter the PIN code to unlock the hardware wallet. Entering the wrong PIN code 10 times will cause the hardware wallet to reset.
After that, the system will display that the wallet creation is successful and can be used by connecting OneKey desktop, OneKey browser extension, or OneKey App.
The recovery phrase is the only way you can recover your wallet. Please keep it safe, do not record it on any electronic devices, and do not share or save it on any network channels to ensure the security of your assets.
Verify Recovery Phrase
After activation, we need to verify the recovery phrase to ensure that you have recorded the recovery phrase correctly and can use it to recover your address. The main steps are as follows:
Verify Address. Connect the activated Classic to Desktop, view and record the first address generated by default.
Reset Device and Import Recovery Phrase. Reset the Classic to clear its data, and the Classic will return to an unactivated state. Then you can restore your wallet by importing the recovery phrase you just wrote down.
Verify and Confirm Address. After successful restoration, connect the Classic to Desktop and check if the first address generated by default matches the address in step 1.
To do this, please follow these steps:
Open the OneKey official website https://onekey.so/download , select the version corresponding to your computer's operating system to download, and follow the instructions for installation (here is an example for Win 10).
Use the 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 MAC computer users need to use a USB adapter port to complete the connection.
If the Desktop remains in the following state, please check the connection of your hardware wallet to the computer. You can try unplugging the device or replacing the USB cable/port. Sometimes the cable may show 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 is displayed correctly. If it does not open, please download and install the 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 save the receiving address.
Then, we will verify the address. Keep the mnemonic phrases you wrote down when performing the activation last time. Then press any button on the hardware wallet to enter the option interface. Select Security, then select Reset to reset the device. After the reset is complete, the device will return to the welcome screen, set the system language, and enter the unactivated state.
Press any button to enter the interface. Select Restore to restore a wallet. Enter the mnemonic phrases you wrote down earlier and verify. After completion, you will need to reset the PIN code of the hardware wallet. After setup is complete, the wallet will be restored successfully.
At this time, open the Desktop and select [Menu] - [Reset App] to clear previously saved data.
Then return to the welcome screen and repeat the previous steps. Select [Create Wallet] - [Hardware Wallet], enter the PIN code on the Classic, and complete the connection. Click next to [Receive] - View Receiving Address.
Check if the address at this point is the same as the one saved earlier. If the addresses are the same, the verification is complete, and the recovery phrase matches the address.
You have now successfully set up your hardware wallet.
