Unboxing Trezor

Step 1: Unboxing Your Trezor

Carefully open your Trezor hardware wallet package. Verify that the packaging is tamper-proof and contains the device, USB cable, recovery seed card, and instruction manual. Never use a device that appears damaged or tampered with.

Connecting Trezor

Step 2: Connecting the Device

Connect your Trezor device to your computer using the provided USB cable. Go to trezor.io/start and follow the instructions to launch Trezor Suite. Ensure your browser or software is up-to-date for maximum security.

Device Setup

Step 3: Initial Device Setup

Follow the on-screen prompts to initialize your device. Choose whether to create a new wallet or recover an existing one using a recovery seed. Set a strong PIN to protect access to your wallet and ensure your recovery seed is securely stored offline.

Write down your 24-word recovery seed exactly as shown on the device. This seed is the ultimate backup for your wallet. Never store it digitally or share it online. Your seed is the key to restoring your wallet in case of loss or damage.

Access your Trezor Suite dashboard to manage your cryptocurrencies. You can send, receive, and track multiple coins. The interface provides real-time portfolio monitoring, transaction history, and advanced security settings for peace of mind.
