Step by step procedure to secure your BCH (Main/ Split) and retrieve balances
By selecting MAIN you'll see and manage your BCH through the old HD path of Bitcoin (0'). This is the most simple way to manage your coins, as your BCH are already there. But it could also be more simple, so more tempting, for possible future malicious attacks.
By selecting SPLIT you'll see and manage your BCH through the new HD path of Bitcoin Cash (145'). It will require you to make a transaction from the MAIN account to the SPLIT account (you'll have to spend some fees). But it could also be more safe as you'll have new keys for this particular account.
It is up to you: you can then choose to transfer from one path to another at your convenience - nothing is mandatory. This choice is done as an additional protection layer against scammers that could lure you into transacting on the wrong chain.
HOW TO SEND FROM YOUR MAIN BCH WALLET TO YOUR SPLIT BCH WALLET
If you own a Nano or a HW1, you'll first have to update the firmware (see this unofficial tutorial) and can skip steps 1 and 2
Install the Bitcoin Cash wallet from the Ledger Manager on your Ledger device (if the Ledger Manager says that no more space is available please delete other wallets, you won't lose any fund)
