Step-by-step guide to starting up your Trezor® device safely and efficiently
When you first receive your Trezor®, make sure the packaging is sealed and untampered. Carefully remove the device and all included accessories. The package typically contains your Trezor®, USB cable, recovery seed card, and instruction manual.
Handling your device with care ensures longevity and protects the sensitive hardware inside. Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures or liquids.
Use the included USB cable to connect your Trezor® to your computer. Visit Trêzor.io/start® to access the official web interface. Your browser will guide you through initial setup, including firmware installation and device recognition.
Follow on-screen prompts carefully. Trezor® will never ask for personal information outside the device interface, so always ensure you are on the official website.
Protect your device by creating a strong PIN. This prevents unauthorized access if your Trezor® is lost or stolen. Avoid predictable combinations like birthdays or sequences.
Your PIN is unique to the device and cannot be recovered by Trezor® if forgotten. Always keep a backup of your recovery seed.
Your recovery seed is the master key to your cryptocurrency wallet. Write it down on the provided card and store it securely offline. Never take a screenshot or store it digitally to prevent hacks.
This 24-word phrase allows you to restore your wallet on any Trezor® device. Keep it private and inaccessible to others.

Trezor® provides a secure interface to manage multiple cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and more. Each transaction must be confirmed on the device for added security.
