1. Check Your Device and Packaging
Before you begin, confirm that your Trezor device packaging is sealed and intact. Trezor hardware wallets are shipped with tamper-proof seals for your safety. If anything seems suspicious, contact Trezor Support before proceeding.
2. Connect and Visit Trezor.io/Start
Use the included USB cable to connect your device to your computer. Open your browser and go to Trezor.io/Start. You’ll be guided through the installation of Trezor Suite, the official desktop application used to interact with your wallet securely.
3. Install and Initialize
Once Trezor Suite is installed, launch the app. Follow the instructions to initialize your device. Choose “Create a new wallet” if you’re setting up for the first time, or “Recover wallet” if restoring from a backup. During this process, your device will generate a unique recovery seed — write it down carefully and never store it digitally.
4. Secure with PIN and Passphrase
Next, create a PIN directly on your device to prevent unauthorized access. You can also enable a passphrase — an optional but powerful security feature that adds an extra layer of protection to your wallet.
5. Access Your Portfolio
After setup, open Trezor Suite to view your portfolio. You can send and receive coins, check balances, and track the market all from one place. Always verify every action on your Trezor device’s screen to ensure safety.
Security Recommendations
- Download software only from official Trezor sources.
- Keep your recovery seed offline and never share it.
- Verify all transactions on your device screen before confirming.
- Keep firmware up to date via Trezor Suite.
- Use your wallet on secure and trusted computers only.
