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

Getting started with a Trezor hardware wallet is designed to be straightforward, even if you are using a hardware wallet for the first time. Trezor.io/Start is the official starting point for setting up your Trezor device, installing the required software, and learning the essential security steps before managing your digital assets.

When starting your device, always use official Trezor resources and carefully follow the instructions displayed by Trezor Suite. This helps reduce the risk of accidentally using an unofficial website or application.

What Is Trezor.io/Start?

Trezor.io/Start is the official Trezor setup page that helps users begin the device initialization process. It provides access to Trezor Suite and setup instructions for compatible Trezor hardware wallets.

Before you begin, have your Trezor device, USB cable, backup cards, and a pen ready. You should also use a trusted computer or compatible device and make sure your internet connection is reliable.

For complete background information, visit the official Trezor.io/Start guide before connecting your wallet.

Step 1: Visit Trezor.io/Start

Open your browser and carefully enter Trezor.io/Start. Check the address before proceeding. Avoid following setup instructions from unknown websites, advertisements, emails, or unsolicited messages.

The official setup page provides instructions for getting Trezor Suite and beginning the initialization process. Trezor Suite is the primary application for interacting with your Trezor hardware wallet.

If you are unfamiliar with the application, the Trezor Suite guide can help you understand its interface and important features.

Step 2: Download Trezor Suite

After opening the official starting page, follow the instructions to obtain Trezor Suite for your supported operating system. Install the application and open it.

Trezor Suite provides a secure interface for connecting your hardware wallet and managing supported cryptocurrency accounts. During setup, the application can guide you through the steps required to prepare your device.

Always download software from official Trezor sources rather than third-party download websites.

Step 3: Connect Your Trezor Device

Connect your Trezor to your computer using the appropriate cable. Once the device is recognized, Trezor Suite should provide instructions for continuing the setup.

Depending on your Trezor model, the exact screens and steps may differ. Follow the instructions shown for your specific device instead of relying on instructions intended for another model.

If you are using a Trezor Safe model, you can also review the relevant Trezor Safe setup instructions before beginning.

Step 4: Install or Update Firmware

A new Trezor device may require firmware installation before you can create or access a wallet. Trezor Suite guides you through this process.

Follow every on-screen instruction carefully and avoid disconnecting your device while an important operation is in progress. If your device asks you to confirm an action, review the information displayed on the Trezor itself before approving it.

Keeping your device firmware current can also be an important part of maintaining security and compatibility. For more information, see the Trezor firmware guide.

Step 5: Create Your Wallet Backup

One of the most important parts of starting up your Trezor is creating and protecting your wallet backup. This backup is essential for recovering your wallet if your physical device is lost, damaged, or unavailable.

Write the backup information down exactly as instructed by your Trezor device. Keep it offline and store it somewhere secure and private.

Never share your wallet backup with anyone. A legitimate Trezor representative will not need your backup words to troubleshoot your device. You should also never type your backup words into random websites, online forms, messages, or applications.

Read the official Trezor backup and recovery information to learn more about protecting your wallet backup.

Step 6: Set Up Your PIN

Your PIN helps protect the physical Trezor device from unauthorized access. During setup, Trezor Suite will guide you through creating your PIN.

Choose a PIN that is difficult for others to guess and keep it private. Do not send your PIN to anyone through email, chat, social media, or other communication channels.

Once the PIN and wallet backup steps are completed, your Trezor can be ready to use with Trezor Suite.

Stay Safe While Using Trezor

Security should remain a priority after your initial setup. Always check website addresses carefully before entering sensitive information or connecting your device.

Be especially cautious of websites or people claiming that you must provide your wallet backup, PIN, or private information to activate, unlock, verify, or recover your Trezor.

For official assistance, use the Trezor Support Center rather than relying on unofficial support accounts or random online guides.
