Welcome to Trézor.io/Start, your official guide to setting up your Trezor® hardware wallet safely and efficiently. Whether you’re new to cryptocurrency or upgrading your security, Starting Up™ your device ensures that your digital assets remain secure from day one. This step-by-step guide will walk you through every essential process—from unboxing to securing your first wallet—so you can confidently manage your cryptocurrencies.

Unboxing Your Trezor® Device

When your Trezor® device arrives, start by inspecting the package carefully. Authentic Trezor hardware wallets come with tamper-evident packaging. If the seal appears broken, contact Trezor support immediately via Trezor.io/start. Ensuring the integrity of your device before powering it on is the first step in safeguarding your crypto assets.

Once verified, remove the device and USB cable. Trezor wallets are designed for ease of use, so you’ll notice their sleek and compact design, ready for portable yet secure cryptocurrency management.

Connecting Your Device

1. Plug in Your Trezor®: Use the provided USB cable to connect your Trezor to your computer. For mobile devices, some models support USB-C or OTG adapters.
2. Navigate to Trezor.io/start: Open your browser and go to Trezor.io/start. This page is your official entry point for device setup and firmware installation.
3. Install Firmware: If your device doesn’t have pre-installed firmware, follow the on-screen prompts to download the latest version. Firmware updates are essential for security enhancements and new features.

Following these steps ensures that your Trezor is running the latest secure software, protecting you from potential vulnerabilities.

Initializing Your Wallet

Once your device is connected and updated, you’ll begin the wallet setup:

1. Create a New Wallet: Trezor provides the option to create a new wallet or recover an existing one. If this is your first device, choose “Create New Wallet.”
2. Backup Your Recovery Seed: Your Trezor device will generate a 12-24 word recovery seed. Write it down offline—never store it digitally. This seed is the key to recovering your wallet if the device is lost or damaged.
3. Confirm Your Recovery Seed: During setup, you’ll be asked to verify the words. This step ensures you’ve accurately recorded your backup, a critical safety measure.

Securing Your Device

Security is at the core of Trezor wallets. After initializing your wallet, you’ll want to:

• Set a PIN Code: This protects your device from unauthorized access. The PIN is entered directly on the device, ensuring it’s never exposed online.
• Enable Passphrase Protection: For additional security, you can add a passphrase. This acts as a “25th word” to your recovery seed, providing a stealth layer of security.
• Register Your Device: By registering, you can access firmware updates and support quickly in case of device issues.

These security features are designed to keep your cryptocurrency investments safe, even if your device is lost or stolen.

Managing Your Cryptocurrency

With your Trezor® fully set up, you can now begin managing your crypto assets. Trezor supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of other cryptocurrencies. Using the Trezor Suite or web-based wallet interface, you can:

• Send and receive cryptocurrency safely
• Monitor account balances in real-time
• Integrate with third-party wallets and exchanges securely
