# ...a Xaman card

### Before you begin...

If you are reading this article, you have probably just received your new Xaman Cards and are eager to get them setup and configured properly.

Most people will want to configure one of the cards as a "backup" card. This is an excellent idea because it ensures that if something were to happen to one of the cards, the other card could be used to access the assets in the account.

In order to configure a backup card, you **must** import **two** cards into Xaman.

That means that you will need to go through the following steps **twice,** once for **each card**.

If you decide to **not** import two cards into Xaman, you will **not** be able to run the Tangem Backup xApp or configure a backup card.

### Importing a the cards and generating new XRP Ledger accounts

1\) From the main screen of Xaman, press the **Settings** button, choose **Accounts**, then press the the **+ Add account** button.

You should see this screen:

2\) Choose **Add Tangem card** then hold one of the cards up to the NFC reader on your phone.

You should see this message:

3\) Tap **Generate account** then hold the card against the NFC reader on your phone again.

5\) After you have scanned the card, Xaman will display the r-address that the card belongs to. Press the **Confirm** button.

You have successfully imported one of your aman Cards into Xaman!🥳

{% hint style="danger" %}
If you are planning to configure a backup card, you are going to need to **repeat** all of the steps above with a **second card**. If you do not import a second card, you will not be able to configure a backup card.
{% endhint %}

### Activating your accounts

If your plan is to configure a backup card, only **one** of the cards will need to be activated. The second card **does not** need to be activated with 10 XRP.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.xaman.app/app/getting-started-with-xaman/importing-your-account/...a-xumm-tangem-card.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
