# 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 2

* Enter your PIN code and select the **Solana** application

You’ll see **Application is ready** appear on the screen.

### 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!

You’ve successfully connected and learned how to access your Ledger device using Solflare!

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.solflare.com/solflare/onboarding/web-app-and-extension/import-your-ledger-device.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
