Unboxing Your Trezor
When you receive your Trezor device, carefully unbox it. Inside the package, you should find:
The Trezor device
A USB cable
Recovery seed cards
A user manual and stickers
Make sure all items are present and intact before proceeding.
Connecting to Your Computer
Using the provided USB cable, connect your Trezor device to your computer. Ensure your computer is connected to a secure and trusted internet connection. Avoid using public or shared Wi-Fi networks during the setup process to enhance security.
Visiting Trezor.io/start
Open your preferred web browser and navigate to Trezor.io/start. This official Trezor setup page will guide you through each step of the process, ensuring you have the latest software and firmware updates.
Installing Trezor Bridge
To enable communication between your Trezor device and your web browser, you need to install Trezor Bridge. Follow the on-screen prompts to download and install Trezor Bridge. Once installed, refresh the Trezor.io/start page to continue.
Initializing Your Trezor
With Trezor Bridge installed, you can now initialize your Trezor device. Follow the setup wizard on Trezor.io/start. You have the option to create a new wallet or recover an existing one using a recovery seed.
Creating a New Wallet: Select this option if you are setting up your Trezor for the first time. Follow the prompts to generate a new recovery seed.
Recovering an Existing Wallet: If you already have a Trezor recovery seed, select this option and enter your recovery seed to restore your wallet.
Securing Your Recovery Seed
During the setup, you'll be prompted to generate a recovery seed. This seed is a list of words that acts as a backup for your wallet. Write down your recovery seed on the provided card and store it in a safe, offline location. Never share your recovery seed with anyone or store it digitally.
Setting PIN Protection
To add an extra layer of security, create a PIN code for your Trezor device. This PIN will be required every time you access your wallet. Choose a strong, unique PIN that you can remember but others cannot easily guess.
