#### 💡 Tips

* Keep your Ledger **firmware** and the **Kaspa app** up to date for smooth operation.

### 🧩 Troubleshooting Ledger Connection Issues

If you’re having trouble connecting your Ledger device to Kastle, try these fixes:

#### ⚠️ 1. Device Not Detected

* Ensure your **Ledger is unlocked** and the **Kaspa app** is open.
* Use a **different USB cable or port** — some only supply power, not data.
* If prompted, allow your **browser to grant USB access** to the Ledger.

#### 🧱 2. Browser Permissions

* Kastle works best in **Google Chrome** or **Brave**.
* Close **Ledger Live** before connecting, as it can block access.
* On macOS, you may need to **reconnect** your device after granting permissions.

#### 🔄 3. Outdated Kaspa App or Firmware

* Open **Ledger Live** and update your **firmware** and **Kaspa app** to the latest version.
* Reconnect your Ledger and reopen the Kaspa app before trying again.

#### 🧹 4. Reset the Connection

If issues persist:

1. Disconnect your Ledger and close Kastle.
2. Reopen your browser.
3. Reconnect your Ledger, open the Kaspa app, and retry **“Import with Ledger.”**
