Setup a New Wallet

This tutorial will walk you through how to set up a new crypto wallet with Shield BIO.

Power On

1. Press and hold the Power Button (↓) for at least 2 seconds.

2. Release Power Button (↓) when the screen turns on.

3. Follow instructions on the device screen to use the Device Buttons and Fingerprint Pad.

PIN Setup

1. Press Fingerprint Pad to start setting a 4-8 digit PIN number.

1-1 Use the Up (↑) and Down (↓) Buttons to select desired number.

1-2 Press Fingerprint Pad to confirm and continue to select the next number.

1-3 To complete PIN setup, use the Up (↑) and Down (↓) Buttons to navigate to the "✔️" checkmark option on the screen. For example, to set a 4-digit PIN, select "✔️" on the fifth digit to finish PIN setup.

NOTE

• During each number entry, you can select to go back.

• Opt for an 8-digit PIN for enhanced security.

• Avoid using simple number sequences or repeated number sequences like 1234 or 0000.

• Do NOT select significant dates like birth year or family member’s birthday as a PIN code.

2. Once you’ve set up your PIN code, enter it again to confirm.

Set Up a New Wallet

1. Navigate to Setup New Wallet and press Fingerprint Pad to continue.

2. Review all information on screen and confirm your understanding of the importance of keeping recovery seed phrase safe by pressing the Fingerprint Pad.

3. Navigate to select the number of words for the recovery seed phrase using the Up (↑) and Down (↓) Buttons, then press Fingerprint Pad to confirm. (A 24-word seed phrase is more secure than a 12-word seed phrase.)

Write Down All Your Recovery Seed Phrase

1. Take out the blank Recovery Sheet that comes with your Shield BIO.

2. Use a permanent ink pen to write down all your recovery seed phrase in the correct order. Three words at a time are generated and displayed on your Shield BIO device screen. You can navigate to the previous or next page using the Up (↑) and Down (↓) Buttons.

3. Once you have written down all your recovery seed phrase, press the Fingerprint Pad to confirm.

IMPORTANT: In the event of theft, loss, or damage to the device, you can always recover your digital assets using your unique recovery seed phrase. Never create a digital copy of your seed phrase by taking a photo on your mobile phone, or upload a document containing your recovery seed phrase to a cloud storage. Always store it offline and in a secure place, away from potential risks. Learn What is a Seed Phrase and How to Store It Safely.

Review Your Unique Recovery Seed Phrase

Confirm the recovery seed phrase you’ve just written down. Use the Up (↑) and Down (↓) Buttons to navigate. You’ll verify each word in the correct order.

Setup Complete!

1. After reviewing all your recovery seed phrase and ensuring everything is correct, press the Fingerprint Pad to complete setup.
