📦 Step 1: Unboxing Your Trezor Device
Inside your box, you should find the Trezor hardware wallet, USB cable, recovery seed card(s), stickers, and a quick start guide. Make sure the tamper-evident seal is intact. Do not use a device that looks pre-used or unsealed.
🌍 Step 2: Go to Trezor.io/start
Connect your device to your computer using the included cable. Then, visit the official site: Trezor.io/start to download the latest Trezor Suite. This suite is your control center to manage your crypto, check balances, and perform transactions.
💻 Step 3: Install and Launch Trezor Suite
Download and install the Trezor Suite application (available for Windows, macOS, Linux). Once installed, open it and follow the on-screen prompts. The Suite ensures secure communication between your Trezor device and your PC.
🛡️ Step 4: Create a Wallet and Save Your Seed
Click "Create new wallet" and your device will display a 12 or 24-word recovery seed phrase. This is the master key to your crypto. Write it down on the recovery card and store it offline. Never share it online or store it digitally. 🧾🔐
🔢 Step 5: Set Up Your PIN
You’ll be asked to create a secure PIN on your Trezor device. This ensures that even if someone gets physical access to your wallet, they can't access your funds without the PIN. Make it unique and avoid patterns like "1234".
🚀 Step 6: Begin Managing Your Crypto
You're now ready to send, receive, and store crypto assets like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), USDT, and thousands of other supported tokens. The Trezor Suite makes crypto management simple, with hardware-level security protecting every transaction.
