# Import Your Ledger Device

This guide shows you how to connect a funded Ledger account to your Solflare wallet. It assumes you already have a wallet setup on a Ledger device and there is a SOL balance on at least one account.

If you haven’t done that yet, you can set up a new wallet using the Ledger Live app by following the steps in [this guide](https://academy.solflare.com/guides/how-to-generate-a-wallet-with-a-ledger-device-using-the-ledger-live-app-mobile/).

### Step 1

* Connect your Ledger to your computer via USB

### Step 9

In order to interact with SPL tokens and smart contracts, **enable blind signing** by following these quick steps on your device (as per Ledger’s support [article](https://support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/4499092909085-Allowing-blind-signing-in-the-Solana-SOL-app?docs=true)).

1. Connect and unlock your Ledger device.
2. Open the **Solana** application.\
   Your device displays **Application is ready**.
3. Press the right button to navigate to **Settings**. Then press both buttons to validate.\
   Your Ledger device displays **Allow blind sign**.
4. Select **Yes** then press both buttons.\
   Your device displays **Application is ready** again. You’re done.

#### **Notes on Blind Signing**

* Although blind signing is required for using Solana, it is technically an advanced feature.
* It is recommended to disable it after use.
* Since you will need it to be turned on so often when using Solana, please be cognizant of when it is turned on or off.
* Any firmware update or Solana Live app update will automatically disable blind signing.

### You’re all set!
