Check for seal integrity and authenticity marks. Open your package carefully, avoid any damage to the box or device. Always be vigilant about counterfeit or tampered wallets.
Connect your hardware wallet to your computer using the USB cable. Power it on. Your device will display a welcome screen and direct you to Trezor.io/Start where the setup continues securely.
Trezor Suite is the trusted companion app for device management. Download it from the official site. It supports firmware updates, coin management, and secure crypto transactions. Installation is simple, and the interface is user-friendly for new and seasoned users alike.
Firmware is the heart of your Trezor's security. New devices require installation; older models may need updates. Follow the prompts within Trezor Suite to complete this step. Avoid interruptions or disconnects for a smooth process.
You can create a new wallet or restore your existing wallet via your secret recovery seed phrase. Write down your generated recovery phrase carefully on provided cards and store it offline. This phrase grants total access to your funds.
PIN protection guards against unauthorized access. Set your PIN during the device setup on the screen, ensuring complexity and memorability. The PIN must be entered manually on the Trezor device to prevent remote compromise.
