Choose the option to create a new wallet if this is your first setup. Follow the device instructions to create your wallet backup and write down the recovery words privately, exactly as instructed. If restoring an existing wallet, use the official recovery process instead.

Essential security tips

• Never share your recovery words. Anyone who obtains them may be able to access your crypto.

• Never enter your recovery words into a website or ordinary computer application. Follow the official, device-based recovery procedure.

• Verify transaction details on your Trezor screen before approving a transaction.

• Avoid unofficial downloads and support links. Start from the official Trezor website.

• Test with a small transfer first when moving cryptocurrency from an exchange or another wallet, and verify the network and destination address.

These precautions help reduce the risks of phishing, fraudulent software, and irreversible transfer mistakes.
