Part 1: Install the Safecoin app on the Ledger Nano

2) After logging in, click the “Account” on the top left and click “Import Hardware Wallet”.

3) This shows a new dialog. Now make sure your Ledger Nano is connected to your PC and open up the Safecoin app.

4) When opening the app on the Ledger Nano, it shows a “Pending Ledger review” notice. Acknowledge this message by pressing both buttons on the device.

This finally opens the Safecoin application on the Ledger.

5) Now click “Continue” in the web wallet. This brings up a new dialog where you can select your Ledger device. Select it and click “Connect”.

6) When connecting the ledger the web wallet shows a dialog with the address derived from the ledger. click on it to continue.

7) Now you have to confirm this address on your ledger device. Click the button through the address and compare it if it is correct. Finally, submit it on your Ledger device.

Done.
