Welcome to Trezor.io/Start®, your first step toward securely managing your cryptocurrency. Setting up your Trezor® hardware wallet is straightforward, but it’s essential to follow each step carefully to ensure your funds remain safe. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the setup process and provide useful tips to help you get started.

Step 1: Unbox and Inspect Your Trezor® Device

When you receive your Trezor® wallet, begin by unboxing it and checking the included contents. A standard Trezor® package includes:

• The Trezor® device
• A USB cable
• Recovery seed cards
• Instruction manual

Before using your device, ensure the packaging is intact and hasn’t been tampered with. Trezor® devices are shipped with security seals—never use a device with broken or missing seals. For more information, visit Trezor.io/start to confirm you have a genuine device.

Step 2: Connect Your Device

Next, connect your Trezor® to your computer using the provided USB cable. Modern devices are compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux, as well as mobile devices with USB-C or via OTG adapters. Once connected, your device will power on, and you’ll see a welcome screen prompting you to visit Trezor.io/start to begin the setup.

Opening Trezor.io/start in your web browser ensures you are using the official Trezor platform. This is a critical security step—never use third-party setup guides or unofficial software.

Step 3: Install Trezor Suite

The next step is installing Trezor Suite, the software companion to your device. Trezor Suite allows you to:

• Manage your crypto assets
• Send and receive transactions securely
• Access advanced settings and features

You can download the latest version of Trezor Suite directly from Trezor.io/start. Follow the on-screen instructions to install it on your system. Once installed, open Trezor Suite and select “Setup a New Device” to proceed.

Step 4: Initialize Your Trezor®

Now it’s time to initialize your device. Trezor® offers two setup options:

1. Create a new wallet – Generates a new recovery seed, giving you full control of your funds.
2. Recover an existing wallet – Restores a wallet from a previously saved recovery seed.

If you are new to Trezor®, choose Create a new wallet. Your device will generate a 24-word recovery seed, which is the master key to your funds. Write this seed down on the provided recovery cards and store them in a secure location—never store it digitally or share it with anyone. For guidance, refer to the detailed instructions on Trezor.io/start.

Step 5: Set Up a PIN

After recording your recovery seed, you’ll be prompted to create a PIN for your device. The PIN ensures that even if someone gains physical access to your Trezor®, they cannot access your assets without the correct code. Use a unique PIN that is easy for you to remember but hard for others to guess.

Step 6: Explore Your Wallet

With your Trezor® initialized and secured, you’re ready to explore your wallet. Trezor Suite provides a user-friendly interface to manage multiple cryptocurrencies, check balances, and send transactions. You can also access advanced features like passphrase protection, coin splitting, and third-party wallet integrations.
