6. In this example, we will be using Mac OS X, so we will click "Get the App". If you are using Windows and this same screen pops up, you will click the "Click here" link beside "Not using Mac OS X?" instead. This will prompt a download.

9. After clicking "Update Now", it will ask if this is a new KeepKey or if we've set it up before. This is a new KeepKey, so that is what we will select. If you've used your KeepKey before, select "I've Set Up This KeepKey Before" instead.

Connect Your Wallet (Take Two!)

1.1. You will now repeat your very first steps. Click "Connect a Wallet" and select "KeepKey".

Pairing Your Device (Again!)

1.2. After selecting "KeepKey", this screen will come up and you will select "Pair KeepKey". After that, you will highlight the KeepKey you would like to pair and then click "Connect". This should all ring a bell as you've done it before. Don't worry. You only are doing this twice since this is a new device.

Initialize Your KeepKey

1.3. Now, it's time to initialize your KeepKey. You will notice below "Initialize" that you can also recover your account with a 12-word recovery phrase, but you will not have that if you're using it for the first time. If this isn't your first time using KeepKey and you would like to recover an existing wallet, please select that option instead and follow the onscreen directions.

1.4. Once you've initialized your KeepKey, you can name add a Label to your device. This is essentially your KeepKey's name in the ShapeShift interface. Once you choose a name, click "Set Label".

1.5 Next, it is time to choose your PIN using the cipher on your KeepKey. Let's look at the cipher. This will change every time you use your KeepKey. Your PIN is limited to nine digits. If you are trying to use a PIN longer than nine digits, please note that the device only recognizes the first nine entries.

Note that the new security update will include two identical number boxes displayed on your KeepKey's screen (example below)

1.6. Your screen will look like this.

Screen_Shot_2019-05-21_at_2.04.55_PM.png

1.7 But to follow the cipher on the KeepKey, each of those buttons will actually be representative of what is shown on the KeepKey's screen. In our example, it would look like this.

1.8. After you choose and confirm your PIN (remember: the cipher will change before the confirmation screen, so make sure you take a look at your KeepKey screen), you'll be given your new recovery sentence. This 12-word sentence is pertinent to keep safe. Write it down on a hard copy and lock it somewhere safe. Do not keep a digital copy of this sentence. If you wish to restore another recovery sentence, you can find more information here. Your 12 word recovery sentence will only be displayed ONCE. Failure to write these words down and store them in a safe place can result in your funds being permanently lost. Do not proceed past this step until the words are written down (in order) first.

1.9. Once you have written down your 12-word sentence, confirm on your KeepKey by holding the button on your device. After this, your addresses will sync and you will be brought to your dashboard.

Navigation

Once you add digital assets, your dashboard will reflect your balances. If you have added a label to your KeepKey, your balances will reflect even after you disconnect your device.

If you already have a balance in another wallet that you would like to send to your KeepKey, simply send it to yourself.
