# Sign with a Multishard Polkadot Vault Wallet

Using Polkadot Vault in conjunction with Nova Spektr means you will use a mobile device to sign the operation.

{% hint style="warning" %}
It is important to note that the device which has Polkadot Vault installed on it should be:

1. **Factory Reset to remove any previous data**
2. **Disconnected from the internet**
3. **Set to airplane mode**

If you turn off airplane mode, connect to the internet, or plug in your Polkadot Vault device to a computer that has internet access after setting up your Polkadot Vault you will need to repeat the process of installing and setting up Polkadot Vault.
{% endhint %}

Use the Nova Spektr for creating multishard [staking](https://docs.novaspektr.io/staking/nominating-start-staking) operations. When the Multishard Polkadot Vault wallet type is used Nova Spektr offers to sign the operation with the Polkadot Vault.
