Step-by-Step: Starting Up Your Trezor® Device

1. Unbox and Inspect

Open your Trezor package and check for tampering. Trezor devices do not use anti-tamper seals because those can be faked. Instead, verify your device during setup through Trezor Suite, which checks its authenticity using cryptographic verification.

2. Go to Trezor.io/Start

Visit the official onboarding page. You’ll be asked to choose your device model (Model T or Model One) and guided to download the appropriate software: Trezor Suite.

3. Download Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is available for:

• Windows
• macOS
• Linux

Download and install the application from:
👉 https://suite.trezor.io

You can also use the web version, but for optimal security and full functionality, the desktop version is strongly recommended.

4. Connect Your Trezor

Use the supplied USB cable to connect your device to your computer. Trezor Suite will recognize the device and prompt you to begin setup.

Setting Up Your Wallet

🔒 Create a New Wallet or Recover an Existing One

You’ll be asked whether to create a new wallet or restore an existing one using a recovery seed. If this is your first wallet, choose “Create new wallet.”

🧾 Backup Your Recovery Seed

This is the most important step in the entire process. Your Trezor will generate a 12- or 24-word recovery seed, shown only once on the device screen.

• Write it down on paper
• Do not take a photo or store it digitally
• Keep it in a safe place, offline

This seed allows you to recover your funds if your device is lost or damaged. Trezor does not store any backups, so you are fully responsible for safekeeping it.

🔢 Set a PIN

Next, you’ll create a PIN code for your device. This adds a layer of protection in case your Trezor is lost or stolen.

• Choose a unique PIN that’s easy to remember but hard to guess
• You’ll enter the PIN each time you connect your Trezor

Using Trezor Suite

Once your device is set up, you can access the full functionality of Trezor Suite, including:

✅ Send and Receive Crypto

Manage your Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, ERC-20 tokens, and dozens of other supported assets. Trezor never exposes your private keys—transactions are signed within the device itself.

📊 Portfolio Overview

View your account balances, transaction history, and coin details—all in one clean interface.

🔁 Exchange and Trade

Trezor Suite integrates with trusted third-party exchanges so you can swap crypto assets without leaving the app.

🕵️ Privacy Tools

Advanced users can enable features like:

• Tor support for anonymous browsing
• Coinjoin integration (Model T only) for enhanced Bitcoin privacy
• Connecting to your own Bitcoin full node

Tips for a Safe Setup

• ✅ Always use Trezor.io/Start to begin
• ✅ Write down your recovery seed offline only
• ❌ Never share your recovery phrase—not even with Trezor support
• ❌ Avoid buying from unauthorized sellers or marketplaces
• ✅ Keep your Trezor firmware updated through Trezor Suite

What If You Run Into Problems?

Trezor offers excellent support resources, including:

• Knowledge base: https://trezor.io/support
• Community forums for open discussion
• Direct support tickets via Trezor Suite

Common setup issues such as USB connectivity, firmware mismatches, or recovery questions are well documented in the support center.
