Device Setup Guide

1

Download Trezor Suite

Begin by downloading Trezor Suite, the official desktop application for managing your Trezor device. It provides the most secure and feature-rich experience.

Always download Trezor Suite from the official Trezor website to avoid phishing attempts. The application is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

2

Connect Your Trezor Device

Connect your Trezor hardware wallet to your computer using the provided USB cable. Ensure the connection is secure.

Before proceeding, verify that your device's packaging was intact with no signs of tampering. The holographic seal should be unbroken.

3

Install Firmware

Your Trezor will automatically install the latest firmware. This ensures you have the most up-to-date security features and functionality.

Firmware updates are crucial for maintaining the highest level of security. Never skip this step.

4

Create Your Recovery Seed

Your device will generate a unique recovery seed (typically 12, 18, or 24 words). This is the most critical security step.

Write these words down in exact order on the provided recovery seed card. Store it securely offline and never digitally. This seed allows you to recover your wallet if your device is lost or damaged.

5

Set Up PIN Protection

Add an extra layer of security with a PIN code. The Trezor device will prompt you to enter a PIN using its randomized number display.

This prevents keyloggers from capturing your input. Choose a PIN you'll remember but that others cannot easily guess.

6

Access Your Wallet

Once setup is complete, you can access Trezor Suite and start managing your cryptocurrencies securely.

Your device is now ready to send, receive, and store cryptocurrencies with enterprise-grade security.
