Trezor.io/Start®

When you receive your Trezor device, carefully unbox it and ensure all the components are included. You should find the device itself, a USB cable, recovery cards, and a quick start guide. Each piece is essential for a secure setup and a smooth start. Treat the device with care, avoiding any exposure to water or extreme heat.

Connect your Trezor to your computer using the provided USB cable. Visit Trezor.io/start in a web browser. This official website will guide you through the installation of necessary firmware. Always use the official website to avoid phishing attempts. Your device will not function without this secure connection.

Follow the on-screen instructions to install the latest firmware. Firmware is the software that ensures your device is up-to-date and protected against vulnerabilities. Do not skip this step. It usually takes a few minutes and your device may restart during the process. Patience is key.

Once the firmware is installed, you can create a new wallet. Choose a strong PIN code for access. This PIN will protect your device from unauthorized use. Do not share it with anyone. Write down the recovery seed on the cards provided. This seed is your backup to restore the wallet if the device is lost or damaged.

The device will ask you to confirm your recovery seed. This ensures you have correctly recorded it. Carefully follow the instructions on-screen. Do not take screenshots or store it digitally. Your seed should remain offline at all times to guarantee security.

With your wallet ready, you can now add cryptocurrency. Follow the instructions to receive Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other supported coins. Always double-check the receiving address. Security is paramount. Start with a small amount if you are testing your setup.

Regularly update your firmware and never share your recovery seed. Be cautious of phishing emails and fake websites. Always access your wallet via the official Trezor website. Store your device in a safe location when not in use. By following these steps, your cryptocurrency will remain secure.

If your device encounters any issues, consult the official Trezor support page. Do not attempt to fix the device by opening it or using unverified software. Follow the recommended troubleshooting steps to avoid compromising security.

Always use strong passwords, enable passphrase protection, and store your recovery seed safely. Consider using a secure location, such as a safe or a bank deposit box, for extra protection. The more careful you are, the less risk your funds will face.

Your Trezor is now fully operational. Enjoy managing your cryptocurrency securely and conveniently. Continue to follow best security practices, and remember that the Trezor device is designed to keep your digital assets safe from theft and unauthorized access.
