Starting Up Your Device | Trézor® Guide
Welcome to your comprehensive guide on setting up your Trezor device. In this section, we’ll walk you through the initial steps to get started safely and securely.
Begin by connecting your Trezor hardware wallet to your computer via USB. Make sure you only use the official cable to avoid any connection issues.
Once connected, your device will light up and display a welcome message. Follow the on-screen instructions carefully.
Trezor Suite is the official desktop app for managing your Trezor wallet. Download it from the official Trézor website and install it on your computer.
Launch the app, and it will automatically detect your connected device. This is where you’ll initialize your wallet and manage security settings.
Follow the Trezor Suite prompts to create a new wallet. You will be given a recovery seed — write it down carefully and store it securely offline.
This seed is your backup in case your device is lost or damaged. Never share it with anyone.
Set a strong PIN for your device. Avoid using easily guessable numbers. The PIN protects your funds in case your device is stolen.
Enable additional security features like passphrase protection for extra security.
Once setup is complete, you can start sending and receiving cryptocurrencies securely. Trezor Suite allows you to monitor balances, make transactions, and manage accounts with ease.
Always ensure your device is connected directly to your computer and not through any unknown hubs or cables.
Your Trezor device is now ready for safe and secure usage. Remember to always follow best practices for hardware wallet security to protect your digital assets.
