How to Restore a Wallet on imKey Pro？

Summary
This article provides detailed steps on how to use an existing wallet with the imKey Pro hardware wallet. By using the wallet recovery feature, users can import their existing mnemonic phrase into the imKey Pro hardware wallet for more secure management of their crypto assets.

If you want to use an existing wallet with the imKey Pro hardware wallet, you can use the "Restore Wallet" feature.

Before Restoring a Wallet, Please Note:

• Avoid Duplicate Imports: When importing the mnemonic phrase of an "Identity Wallet" or a wallet already "Created/Imported" in the imToken software into the hardware device, imToken will prompt, "Wallet already exists, please do not import the same wallet."
• Maintain Offline Security: Importing a mnemonic phrase generated by a software wallet into a hardware device is pointless because the mnemonic phrase was exposed to the internet when it was generated, meaning the hardware device can no longer provide protection.

How to Restore a Wallet on imKey Pro

1. Turn on your imKey Pro, follow the on-screen instructions to set the language and PIN code, then select "Restore Wallet" and press the "OK" button to confirm. Note: If another mnemonic phrase has already been imported into the imKey Pro, you need to reset the imKey first, then proceed with step 1.
2.  Select the Number of Words: Choose the number of words in your mnemonic phrase and press the "OK" button to confirm.
3. After entering the mnemonic phrase, the device will display "Wallet recovery in progress, expected to complete in 2 minutes." Note: Use the up and down buttons to toggle, "OK" to confirm, and "C" to cancel.

4. Once the "Wallet recovery successful" message appears, you can bind the wallet with imToken and start using it normally.
