After you successfully setup the pincode, it is time to write down recovery phrase into the recovery card. you can use left/right button to move previous and next word to check the phrase.

It will display the words one more cycle for the confirmation.

Your initial ledger nano s configuration is finished.

Now, let's start to send Plus coin into the ledger nano s wallet.

Plus coin is an ERC-20 token; It can be stored in Ethereum wallet in ledger nano s.

There are 3 additional things to check before send Plus coin to Ledger nano s.

  1. Ledger nano s firmware must be above 1.2
  2. Contract data must be enabled
  3. Browser setting must be enabled

1. Ledger nano s wallet's firmware must be above 1.2.

You can check your firmware version by Ledger manager application.

Ledger manager official download
Available : Mac, Linux, Window

Mac version of ledger manager

If you download and run the ledger manager(ledger wallet must be connected to computer), you can check your firmware version at Firmware tab.

If the version is 1.3.1, it is perfectly fine.
If your wallet is below 1.2 version, follow this guide Firmware upgrade

2. Contract data must be enabled in Ethereum app.
