• Backing up your recovery seed
• Transferring crypto securely
• Troubleshooting & FAQs

Let’s get started!

Step 1: Unboxing Your Trezor Device

When you receive your Trezor hardware wallet, ensure the package is sealed and untampered. Inside, you’ll find:

• Trezor device (Model T or One)
• USB cable
• Recovery seed cards
• Lanyard & stickers (optional)

Before proceeding to Trezor.io/start, verify the holographic seal on the device. If it’s broken, contact Trezor support immediately.

Step 2: Connecting to Trezor.io/Start

To begin setup:

1. Connect your Trezor to a computer or mobile device using the USB cable.
2. Open a browser and go to the official Trezor.io/start page.
3. Download Trezor Suite, the dedicated desktop app for managing your wallet.

⚠️ Warning: Always ensure you’re on the correct URL—Trezor.io/start—to avoid phishing scams.

Step 3: Installing Firmware

Once connected, Trezor.io/start will prompt you to install the latest firmware:

• Click “Install Firmware” and wait for the process to complete.
• Do not disconnect your device during installation.

Firmware updates enhance security and add new features, so always keep your Trezor updated.

Step 4: Creating a New Wallet

After firmware installation, follow these steps:

1. Select “Create New Wallet” on Trezor.io/start.
2. Choose between:
   • Standard seed backup (12-24 words)
   • Shamir Backup (advanced security)
3. Confirm the setup on your Trezor device.

Step 5: Backing Up Your Recovery Seed

Your recovery seed is the most critical security feature. Trezor.io/start will guide you through:

• Writing down the 12 or 24-word seed phrase in order.
• Storing it offline in a secure location (never digitally).
• Verifying the seed by re-entering words.

💡 Pro Tip: Use the included recovery seed cards and store multiple copies in safe places.

Step 6: Setting Up a PIN

To prevent unauthorized access:

1. Trezor.io/start will prompt you to set a PIN.
2. Use the Trezor device’s touchscreen (Model T) or buttons (Trezor One) to enter it.
3. Confirm the PIN—this adds an extra layer of security.

Step 7: Transferring Crypto to Your Trezor

Now that your wallet is ready:

1. Open Trezor Suite (from Trezor.io/start).
2. Select a cryptocurrency (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum).
3. Click “Receive” to generate a wallet address.
4. Send a test transaction from an exchange or another wallet.

✅ Done! Your funds are now securely stored offline.
