Trezor.io/Start® - Starting Up Your Device

Welcome to your new Trezor hardware wallet—the most secure way to store and manage your cryptocurrency. Follow this simple guide to set up your device and ensure your crypto remains safe from hackers, scams, and theft.

Before You Begin

✅ Download Trezor Suite – The official app for managing your wallet (Download here). ✅ Use the Original Cable – Ensure a secure connection with the included USB cable. ✅ Beware of Phishing – Only use official Trezor websites (trezor.io, suite.trezor.io).

Step 1: Connect Your Trezor Device

  1. Plug your Trezor into your computer using the USB cable.
  2. If prompted, allow Trezor Suite to access the device.

💡 First-time users will see a welcome screen—follow the on-screen instructions.

Step 2: Install the Latest Firmware

Your Trezor may require a firmware update for optimal security:

⚠️ Never skip firmware updates—they protect against new threats!

Step 3: Set Up Your New Wallet

Choose one of two options:

A) Create a New Wallet (Recommended for first-time users)

  1. Select "Create new wallet."
  2. Your Trezor will generate a recovery seed (12-24 words).
  3. Write down the seed on paper (never digitally!).
  4. Confirm the seed by re-entering the words when prompted.

B) Recover a Wallet (If you have an existing seed phrase)

  1. Select "Recover wallet."
  2. Enter your recovery seed in the correct order.
  3. Follow the prompts to restore your wallet.

🔐 Security Tip: Store your seed phrase offline in a safe place—never share it!

Step 4: Set a Strong PIN

  1. Your Trezor will prompt you to create a PIN code.
  2. Use the device’s touchscreen to select numbers (randomized for security).
  3. Confirm your PIN.

🔒 Why a PIN? Even if someone steals your Trezor, they can’t access your crypto without the PIN.

Step 5: Access Trezor Suite & Manage Your Crypto

Once set up, you can: ✔ Send & receive Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies ✔ Check your portfolio balance ✔ Use built-in exchanges & staking ✔ Enable extra security (passphrase, Shamir Backup)

🚀 Ready to go? Your Trezor is now fully secured!
