Common Pitfalls & Safety Tips

  • Digital Exposure: Never type your 20 recovery words into any website or app. Only enter them on the device itself.
  • Bluetooth Pairing: If the device isn't detected, toggle Bluetooth or "forget" the device in system settings and try again.
  • PIN Limit: After 10 incorrect attempts, the device will wipe itself. Ensure you have your backup before testing PINs.
