## Testing your Ledger Cold Wallet

Before making any significant transfers into your new Ledger wallet, it is best to make a series of
test transfers in and out of your wallet.

1. Open the Helium Black Wallet App on your smartphone
2. Navigate to your Ledger Wallet from steps above
3. Copy the pub key of your Ledger Wallet
4. Make a test transfer of SOL into your new Ledger Wallet
:::tip

Transfers out of your wallet will require SOL to pay fees, so start by adding at little SOL e.g.
0.1 SOL to your wallet.

:::

5. Copy the pub key of an external wallet (either Coinbase or other Black Wallet App native wallet)
6. Make a test transfer of SOL out of your new Ledger Wallet
:::note

This will require your Ledger to be PIN unlocked and Solana App started and "ready" to complete

:::

7. Review and Approve the transaction on your Ledger Device when prompted
8. Repeat the Process with HNT or IOT again with small amounts
9. After your have tested transfers in and out of your Ledger wallet, you are ready for safe cold
storage using your Ledger Wallet.
