Pair Stax Through the App With Both Displays Visible
To connect Ledger Stax to Ledger Live on iPhone, use the app’s supported Bluetooth flow, compare the pairing codes, and complete confirmation on Stax. The app is currently Ledger Wallet. A phone remembering a Bluetooth name is only part of the process; the intended application must establish its usable device session too.
Start by deciding whether Stax is already configured. Adding an iPhone to an existing wallet should preserve that hardware configuration rather than create new secrets because the phone interface is empty.
Prepare the Touchscreen and Phone
Charge Stax, power it on, and unlock it using its own PIN entry. From the device dashboard, open Settings and inspect Bluetooth. Use Stax’s touchscreen controls rather than a Nano X two-button sequence copied from another guide.
Ledger’s touchscreen pairing instructions cover Stax, Flex, and compatible touchscreen models. Confirm the phone’s Bluetooth radio and the app’s iOS Bluetooth authorization as separate conditions. Apple’s privacy guide explains the app-specific permission.
Keep Stax near the phone and end active sessions on another phone or competing wallet app. This is a first-connection comparison, so avoid several simultaneous discovery attempts that make requests hard to identify.
Select the Correct Setup Branch
In the current My Ledger or device-connection area, choose Stax and the supported Bluetooth addition route. For hardware already initialized, use the existing-device option. For genuinely new Stax, complete its documented initialization and offline backup separately before assuming a pairing represents complete wallet setup.
Wait for the intended Stax to appear. Device labels can be abbreviated or customized, so compare the actual hardware you are connecting rather than relying only on a name from an old screenshot.
When pairing information appears on both displays, read the complete codes. Accept only matching values for the exchange you started, then tap the hardware confirmation as instructed. If the values differ, cancel; do not approve first and plan to investigate later.
Verify a Live Session After Pairing
Open an intended device-dependent action in the app and inspect the Stax prompt. A saved iPhone association and cached portfolio can remain visible without a current device conversation. Successful management or address verification provides a more meaningful connection check.
Add supported accounts or use the current supported account-sharing process afterward. Bluetooth pairing does not itself discover every blockchain account or synchronize every local label. Confirm the chain and public account before interpreting the portfolio.
Repair a Prior Association Without Wiping Stax
If an old relationship blocks connection, follow Ledger’s current model-specific repair. On Stax, pairing removal is under Settings, Bluetooth, Remove pairing. Read its warning, then coordinate removal of stale app and phone records as the official procedure directs.
Do not choose the device’s factory-reset area. Clearing a radio relationship and erasing wallet configuration have different consequences. Re-pairing should not request recovery words entered into the iPhone.
If several Ledger names appear nearby, move unused devices out of the attempt and connect only the Stax in your hand. An identifiable selection makes the subsequent code comparison easier to interpret.
Stax Setup Questions
Does iPhone Pairing Support Every Firmware Update?
Check the current Stax release’s exact host and transport instructions. Normal Bluetooth transaction support is not proof that every maintenance operation uses the same route.
What if Stax Is Already Installing Ledger OS?
Let progressing installation finish on its supported host before pairing experiments, app-data changes, or cable switches. Resolve an explicit failure using Stax-specific instructions.
How Should I Check the First Receive Address?
Compare the full value on Stax with the app and verify the sender’s intended network. Pairing success alone does not validate a destination or authorize a payment.
