[Specter](https://specter.solutions/) is a convenient and user-friendly GUI built around [Bitcoin Core](https://glossary.blockstream.com/bitcoin-core/), with a focus on multisignature setups with hardware wallets and air-gapped devices. The following guide covers using Jade with Specter in a **fully air-gapped** manner, however a USB connection is also supported.

> **Note:** QR mode supports Bitcoin transactions only. Liquid is not supported via QR.

Prior to setup, prepare Jade Plus for [QR Mode](https://helpcenter.dxp-frontend.devserver.app/blockstream-jade/use-jade-air-gapped/seedqr-vs-qr-pin-unlock). Then [download](https://specter.solutions/) Specter.

1.

Unlock Jade Plus, ideally by [**accessing QR mode**](https://helpcenter.dxp-frontend.devserver.app/blockstream-jade/use-jade-air-gapped/access-jade-plus-air-gapped-with-seedqr).

2.

Navigate to **Options** → **Wallet** → **Export Xpub**. Jade will then display your xpub as an animated QR code.

> **Note:** The default xpub shown is for singlesig, Native SegWit wallets. If you would like, you may change the path to Nested SegWit (m/49'/0'/0') by selecting **Options**.

3.

Open Specter and **add a new device**, then choose **Jade**.

4.

Select **Scan QR code** and scan the xpub QR from Jade Plus's screen using Specter. Once scanned, Specter will automatically detect which key was displayed. Click **Continue** once you are ready. You may repeat this step to upload each relevant key by changing the xpub that is shown by choosing **Options** on Jade's Export Xpub screen.

> **Tip:** Older versions of Specter may not show the Scan QR code option on Jade. To resolve this, return to the device selection screen and simply select to add a **Keystone**. You may then follow the flow as usual with your Jade, it does not matter that the device does not match.

5.

Next follow the prompts to select your desired wallet and script types, then click **Create wallet**.

## Send Bitcoin

1.

Choose the **Send** option in the top menu bar, then enter your recipient's [**address**](https://glossary.blockstream.com/address-bitcoin/) and the **intended** amount. Select **Create unsigned transaction** to continue.

2.

Next, select to sign with your Jade Plus, then choose **Sign with QR codes** to view the PSBT in this format. Navigate to the **QR** **Scan** function on your Jade Plus and point the camera at the QR codes. Jade will need to capture every frame that is displayed to continue.

> **Tip:** The progress bar will fill up as you successfully scan new frames. If the progress bar is not updating, change Jade Plus's angle or distance from the QR until you find the [optimal placement](https://helpcenter.dxp-frontend.devserver.app/blockstream-jade/troubleshooting/fix-issues-scanning-qr-codes) for scanning. Specter also allows you to **increase the size** of the displayed QR, which will allow for a faster scan with Jade.

3.

Once Jade Plus has successfully read the PSBT, it will display the transaction details on your device for you to **review** and **confirm**.

4.

Jade Plus will then **display** your signed transaction as a series of QR codes. Click **Scan signed transaction** and scan Jade Plus's screen with Specter until all frames have been captured.

> **Tip:** For a better scan experience, you may also adjust the [QR settings](https://helpcenter.dxp-frontend.devserver.app/blockstream-jade/troubleshooting/fix-issues-scanning-qr-codes) on Jade.

5.

After Specter has successfully scanned back the signed transaction, select **Send transaction** and your bitcoin will be sent.
