Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace

The setup process emphasizes preparation to prevent mistakes and security issues. Make sure your workspace is clean, well-lit, and free from distractions. Gather the items you will need:

• Trezor hardware wallet purchased from the official store
• USB cable included with the device
• Computer or smartphone compatible with Trezor Suite
• Pen and paper to record your recovery seed

Step 2: Unboxing and Device Verification

Carefully unbox your Trezor wallet and inspect the packaging for any signs of tampering. Trezor recommends only using devices purchased from official sources. Ensure the package includes the device, USB cable, recovery seed cards, and quick start guide.

Step 3: Connecting Your Device

Connect your Trezor wallet to your computer or mobile device using the USB cable. Then, visit Trezor.io/start to download and install Trezor Suite, the official application for managing your wallet. Always use official sources to avoid phishing attacks or malware.

If a firmware update is available, Trezor Suite will guide you through installing it securely. Keeping your firmware up-to-date is essential for protecting your crypto assets.

Step 4: Installing Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is your companion software. With it, you can create wallets, manage accounts, monitor balances, send and receive cryptocurrency, and update your device safely. Trezor.io/start ensures this process is straightforward.

• Create and manage wallets
• Monitor multiple cryptocurrency accounts
• Send and receive crypto securely
• Perform firmware updates

Step 5: Creating a Wallet

Creating a new wallet generates a recovery seed, a critical backup. Trezor.io/start will guide you through this process to ensure maximum security.

Recovery Seed Safety Tips

• Write the seed on the provided card; never store it digitally
• Keep it offline in a safe location
• Never share your seed; no one will ask for it legitimately
• Consider a metal backup for extra durability

Confirm the recovery seed on your device to ensure it is correct. Trezor.io/start walks you through this verification step carefully.

Step 6: Adding Cryptocurrency Accounts

You can add multiple cryptocurrency accounts in Trezor Suite. Each account represents a separate wallet for a specific cryptocurrency.

1. Open Trezor Suite
2. Select the cryptocurrency you want to manage
3. Click "Add Account" and follow the prompts
4. Optionally, label the account for easier identification

Step 7: Receiving Cryptocurrency

To receive crypto, generate a receiving address in Trezor Suite and verify it on your device. This ensures funds are sent to the correct address.

1. Open the account to receive funds
2. Click "Receive" to generate a deposit address
3. Verify the address on your device
4. Share the verified address with the sender

Step 8: Sending Cryptocurrency

Sending crypto safely requires device confirmation. Trezor.io/start ensures all transactions are secure and deliberate.

1. Open the account to send from
2. Enter recipient address and amount
3. Review transaction details
4. Confirm on your device

Step 9: Security Best Practices

• Set a strong PIN code
• Keep firmware and Trezor Suite updated
• Always verify addresses on your device
• Avoid public Wi-Fi
• Optionally enable a passphrase for added protection

Step 10: Wallet Recovery

If your device is lost or damaged, your recovery seed allows you to restore your wallet. Trezor.io/start provides clear instructions:

1. Obtain a replacement Trezor device
2. Select "Recover Wallet" during setup
3. Enter your recovery seed carefully

Trezor Suite will synchronize all accounts, ensuring access to your cryptocurrency is fully restored.
