Trezor.io/Start® — Starting Up™ Your Trezor® Device

Getting started with a Trezor hardware wallet begins with one important step: using the official setup instructions. Trezor.io/Start is the starting point for connecting your device, accessing Trezor Suite, and following the guided initialization process.

Whether you have purchased your first Trezor or are setting up a replacement device, taking a few minutes to complete each step carefully can help you avoid common setup mistakes.

Begin at Trezor.io/Start

Start by opening Trezor.io/Start on your computer or compatible device. The official Trezor setup page provides instructions for getting the appropriate Trezor software and connecting your hardware wallet.

Before beginning, keep your Trezor device, USB cable, and wallet backup materials nearby. It is also useful to have a secure place ready for storing your wallet backup information.

Always check that you are using the genuine Trezor website. Avoid following setup instructions received through unsolicited emails, social media messages, advertisements, or unknown websites.

Connect Your Trezor

After opening Trezor.io/Start, follow the instructions for your particular Trezor model. Connect the device using the appropriate cable and open Trezor Suite when instructed.

Trezor Suite acts as the primary interface for interacting with the hardware wallet. During the initial setup, it can guide you through device preparation and other required steps.

If your device needs a firmware installation, complete this through the official Trezor software. Do not install firmware from third-party websites or download files from sources that you cannot verify.

Protect Your Wallet Backup

One of the most important parts of setting up a hardware wallet is creating and protecting its wallet backup.

Depending on your Trezor model and setup method, you may be presented with backup information during initialization. Follow the instructions shown on your device and record the information exactly as directed.

Your wallet backup should remain private. Never send it to another person, upload it to cloud storage, photograph it for convenience, or type it into a website simply because someone asks you to do so.

Anyone who obtains the necessary wallet backup information may potentially gain access to the associated wallet.

For additional setup guidance, you can return to Trezor.io/Start and follow the official instructions for your device.

Complete the Device Setup

Once the required setup steps have been completed, you can access your wallet through Trezor Suite. Depending on your device and supported assets, Trezor Suite can provide features for viewing accounts, receiving cryptocurrency, sending transactions, and managing your hardware wallet.

Take time to review the information displayed on your Trezor device before approving important actions. A hardware wallet is designed to keep sensitive signing operations protected by requiring confirmation on the physical device.

If you encounter an issue during setup, don't rely on random troubleshooting instructions from forums or unofficial websites. Start again with the official resources available through Trezor.io/Start and consult Trezor's support documentation for model-specific assistance.

A Secure Start With Trezor

Setting up a hardware wallet does not have to be complicated. Begin with the official Trezor.io/Start page, install or open the appropriate Trezor software, connect your device, complete the guided initialization, and carefully protect your wallet backup.

The most important principle is simple: use official Trezor resources and keep your backup information private. With the initial setup completed correctly, Trezor Suite provides a central place to interact with your device and manage your supported digital assets.
