Trezor.io/Start® | Starting Up Your Device - Trezor® Guide

Welcome to the ultimate guide for setting up your Trezor® hardware wallet! Whether you're new to cryptocurrency or a seasoned trader, securing your digital assets is crucial. Follow this step-by-step guide to get started with your Trezor® device safely and efficiently.

📦 Unboxing Your Trezor® Device

Before diving into setup, ensure you have:
✔ Trezor® hardware wallet (Model T or One)
✔ USB cable (included)
✔ Recovery seed card (for backup)
✔ Sticker with Trezor® hologram (for authenticity)

⚠ Warning: Only purchase from Trezor.io to avoid counterfeit devices.

⚡ Step 1: Connect Your Trezor® to a Computer or Mobile

  1. Plug in your Trezor® using the provided USB cable.
  2. Visit Trezor.io/start on a secure browser.
  3. Choose your device (Trezor Model T or Trezor One).

🔒 Step 2: Install Trezor Suite®

For the best experience, download the official Trezor Suite® app:

  • Desktop: Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
  • Mobile: Compatible with Android (via USB OTG).

💡 Using Trezor Suite® ensures enhanced security and full functionality.

🛡️ Step 3: Initialize Your Device

  1. Create a new wallet → Select "Create new wallet."
  2. Set a PIN → Use the touchscreen (Model T) or computer (Trezor One).
  • 🔄 This PIN protects your device from unauthorized access.
  1. Write down your recovery seed (24-word phrase).
  • ✍️ Store it offline—never digitally!
  • 🚫 Never share this seed with anyone.

🌱 Step 4: Confirm Your Recovery Seed

Your Trezor® will ask you to re-enter some words from your seed phrase. This ensures you’ve recorded it correctly.

✅ Tip: Use the metal backup option (like Trezor Keep Metal) for fire/water resistance.

💰 Step 5: Access Your Wallet & Manage Crypto

Once set up, you can:

  • Receive crypto → Generate wallet addresses.
  • Send crypto → Verify transactions on your Trezor®.
  • Explore DeFi & NFTs (via supported integrations).

🔐 Remember: Always confirm transactions on your Trezor® device.

❓ Troubleshooting & Support

If you encounter issues:

  • Check Trezor Support
  • Verify firmware updates (critical for security).
  • Beware of phishing sites → Only use Trezor.io.

🎉 Congratulations! Your Trezor® is Ready!
