1. Unbox & Verify
Inspect the package and tamper-evident seal. Confirm the model and serial number match the paperwork. If anything looks tampered with, contact the vendor or Trezor support before proceeding.
Start at Trezor.io/start
This page is a step-by-step guide to safely set up and use your Trezor hardware wallet. Follow each step carefully — your recovery seed is the single most important item.
2. Connect & Open trezor.io/start
Use the supplied USB cable to connect the device to your computer. In a browser, go to Trezor.io/start. This official page will guide you to the latest Trezor Suite or web app and detect your device.
3. Install Trezor Suite
Download the official Trezor Suite (desktop or web). The Suite is the recommended interface for firmware management, wallet setup, and transactions. Only download from the official trezor.io domain.
4. Initialize Your Wallet
Follow on-screen prompts to create a new wallet. Choose a secure PIN when asked. Your device will display the recovery seed words — write them down exactly, in order, on paper. Do not store the seed digitally or share it with anyone.
Tip: Keep multiple, geographically separated copies of your seed in secure locations (safe deposit box, home safe).
5. Firmware & Authenticity
Allow firmware updates if prompted. Trezor Suite will perform authenticity checks. Verify messages and fingerprints on the device screen — never accept instructions that ask for your seed.
6. Add Accounts & Receive
In Trezor Suite, add accounts for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other supported coins. To receive funds, use the receiving address shown in Suite and confirm that exact address on your Trezor device screen before sending.
7. Ongoing Security Practices
Keep firmware up to date. Never enter your recovery seed into a computer or website. Beware of phishing sites — always verify the URL is trezor.io.
Important: Trezor support will never ask for your recovery seed or PIN.
