How to Set Up Your Device

Follow these simple steps to complete your hardware wallet setup.

Step 1: Visit Trezor.io/start

Begin by opening Trezor.io/start in your browser. The page automatically guides you toward the correct setup instructions based on your hardware wallet model.

This is the recommended starting point for every new device.

Step 2: Download Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is the official desktop application for managing your crypto assets.

Within the setup process, Trezor.io/start provides secure download links for:

• Windows

• macOS

• Linux

Install the software before connecting your device.

Step 3: Connect Your Hardware Wallet

Use the supplied USB cable to connect your Trezor device to your computer.

Once connected, Trezor Suite automatically detects your wallet and checks whether firmware is installed.

If needed, firmware installation will begin.

Step 4: Install Firmware

Brand-new devices often arrive without firmware pre-installed.

Installing firmware directly through Trezor.io/start ensures you're running genuine software created specifically for your wallet.

Never install firmware obtained from unofficial websites.

Step 5: Create Your Wallet

After firmware installation, you'll create a new wallet.

During this process, your Trezor generates a unique recovery seed offline.

This seed is the master backup for your wallet.

Write every word carefully on the recovery card provided in the package.

Never:

• Save it online

• Email it

• Take screenshots

• Store it in cloud storage

Step 6: Set a PIN

PIN protection prevents unauthorized physical access.

Choose a PIN that is:

• Unique

• Difficult to guess

• Easy for you to remember

Every time the device connects, this PIN helps secure your wallet.

Importance of the Recovery Seed

The recovery seed is the most important part of your wallet.

If your hardware wallet is:

• Lost

• Damaged

• Stolen

The recovery seed allows complete wallet recovery on another compatible device.

Because of its importance:

• Store it offline.

• Keep multiple secure backups.

• Never share it with anyone.

No legitimate support representative will ever request your recovery seed.
