Welcome to Your Trezor® Hardware Wallet

Congratulations on your new Trezor® device! Setting up your wallet through Trezor.io/Start ensures maximum security for your cryptocurrencies. This official guide will help you initialize and use your Trezor® safely and effectively.

Before You Begin

Check your package for tamper-proof seals and ensure that your device has not been altered. Only use accessories that come with your original Trezor®. Never connect your device to unverified sources or third-party software.

What You’ll Need

• Your Trezor® hardware wallet and USB cable
• A computer or smartphone with internet access
• Paper and pen to record your recovery seed phrase

Step-by-Step Setup Guide

1. Go to Trezor.io/Start: Visit the official site to begin the setup process. This ensures you’re using verified Trezor software.
2. Connect Your Device: Use the provided USB cable to plug your Trezor® into your computer or mobile device.
3. Download Trezor Suite: Install the Trezor Suite application, which lets you manage your crypto assets and firmware updates.
4. Initialize Your Wallet: Choose “Create a new wallet.” Your device will generate private keys and guide you through setup.
5. Backup Your Recovery Seed: Write down the 12, 18, or 24 words displayed on the device. Keep this seed offline and never share or store it digitally.
6. Set a Secure PIN: Select a unique PIN on your device. This prevents unauthorized access if the device is lost or stolen.
7. Complete Setup: Confirm the configuration in Trezor Suite. Once complete, you’re ready to send, receive, and manage crypto safely.

Protecting Your Recovery Seed

Your recovery seed is your wallet’s master key. Store it safely in a private, secure, and offline location. Never enter it online or share it. Consider a metal backup for extra protection against fire or water damage.

• Never disclose your recovery seed or PIN to anyone, including support personnel.
• Keep Trezor Suite and your device firmware up to date for the latest security enhancements.
• Double-check recipient addresses before every crypto transaction.

Troubleshooting & Support

If your device isn’t recognized, try a different USB port, cable, or restart your computer. For persistent issues, visit Trezor Support for official help. If your Trezor® is lost or damaged, you can restore your funds using the recovery seed on a new device.
