Creating New Wallet Address and a Wallet File
On the start screen you will have two options. Once is to create a new wallet and the second is to open an existing one. Click 'Create New Wallet'.
Initial Screen of Zero Wallet
A popup will then appear with a mnemonic phrase.
Make sure to write down the mnemonic phrase and store it in a safe place because that is how you restore your wallet!
Synchronizing the Blockchain
Once the wallet is created it will automatically start syncing from a remote node to ensure that you can connect with the network quickly without using excessive storage. The Zero wallet doesn't download the entire blockchain like the GUI wallet that requires you to download the entire blockchain before using the wallet.
You will not be able to use the zero wallet until it has finished syncing.
Using Wallet
Encrypting wallet
By default your wallet is not encrypted. To encrypt it with a password click the 'Set password' button under your wallet address at the top of the screen. Click 'OK' to confirm.
If you lose your password, you cannot recover it. Please write down the password somewhere secure.

You can view your wallet balance by pressing the 'Overview' button on the left hand side of the wallet.
