Step-by-Step Setup Guide for Your Trezor Device

1. Unbox Your Trezor:

   • Carefully open the package containing your Trezor device.

   • Remove the Trezor unit, USB cable, and any other included accessories (like recovery cards).

2. Connect Your Trezor:

   • Use the USB cable to connect your Trezor device to your computer. Ensure it’s plugged into a reliable USB port.

3. Go to Trezor.io/Start:

   • Open your preferred web browser and navigate to Trezor.io/Start. This is the official setup page for your device.

4. Install Trezor Bridge:

   • If prompted, download and install Trezor Bridge. This communication tool is essential for the operation of your Trezor wallet with your computer.

5. Initialize Your Device:

   • Follow the on-screen instructions to initialize your Trezor device. This generally includes:

     • Choosing to set up a new wallet or recover an existing wallet.

     • Creating a secure PIN code for your device to enhance security.

     • Writing down your recovery seed — a sequence of words that you will use if you need to recover your wallet in the future.

6. Secure Your Recovery Seed:

   • Take your provided recovery card and write down the recovery seed carefully.

   • Store this recovery card in a safe and secure location—this is crucial for accessing your funds in case you lose your Trezor.

   • It’s critical to never share your recovery seed or PIN code with anyone, and do not store it digitally.

7. Access Your Wallet:

   • After completing the setup process, access your wallet through the Trezor web interface.

   • You can now send, receive, and manage your cryptocurrencies securely through the interface.

Tips for Security

• Double-Check URLs: Always ensure you are on the official Trezor website (Trezor.io) to avoid phishing scams.

• Update Firmware: Regularly check for and install updates for your Trezor firmware to ensure you have the latest security features.

• Never Share Sensitive Information: Your PIN and recovery seed are personal and should be kept confidential.
