Using a hardware wallet to manage crypto assets has become a common method to protect digital assets. The imKey hardware wallet, as a high-security device, provides users with a tool to have full control over their assets. However, we have found that some fraudsters impersonate imKey authorized dealers, selling activated hardware wallets on e-commerce platforms and fake official websites, tricking users into depositing funds for theft. This article will help users quickly determine whether their newly purchased imKey Pro has been activated, ensuring asset security.

Key Operation Guide for First-Time Use of an Unactivated (Not Yet Activated) imKey

Step 1: Language Selection

• When using imKey for the first time, the device will boot up and enter the "Language Selection" screen. Users can choose the appropriate language as needed.

Step 2: Bluetooth Connection

After selecting the language, the device will prompt you to connect via Bluetooth with the imToken app. Make sure your phone's Bluetooth is turned on and follow the instructions to complete the connection.

Step 3: Device Activation

After successfully connecting via Bluetooth, follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process. Finally, the imKey screen will display "Activation Successful." At this point, the device has been successfully activated and is ready for further operations.

Reminder:

Verify the screen display content.

Upon first use, the device will start up and enter the language selection screen, followed by prompts for Bluetooth connection and device activation.	If the device prompts you to enter a PIN code upon startup, it may be compromised and potentially used by unauthorized individuals.

Creating a Wallet and Backing Up the Mnemonic Phrase

When using the imKey hardware wallet, make sure to create the wallet yourself and properly back up the mnemonic phrase. The mnemonic phrase is the only way to recover your wallet and must be stored securely.

Risk Warning: If the instructions suggest that the imKey hardware wallet does not require a mnemonic phrase, the wallet is at risk.

Verifying the Authenticity of the Device

If you are still unable to confirm the authenticity of the device or have any concerns after following the steps above, please contact imKey customer support to verify that your device is an official product, ensuring the security of your digital assets.
