Mode D: import an existing mnemonic
Standard BIP-39 import with checksum validation. Use this to recover a wallet or to bring a seed generated elsewhere onto the device.
The checksum is validated before anything is stored, and the resulting fingerprint is displayed prominently so you can confirm you typed it correctly. A single wrong word usually fails the checksum. A wrong word that still checksums produces a completely different wallet, so check the fingerprint.
