Unboxing Your Trezor®

Included Components

Upon opening your Trezor® box, you will find:

Inspecting for Security

Always check for tamper-evident seals. 🔍 Any sign of damage or tampering should be reported immediately. Trezor ensures a secure experience from the very first glance.

Connecting to Your Computer

Step 1: Visit Trezor.io/Start®

Open your web browser and navigate to Trezor.io/Start®. This page will guide you to download and install Trezor Suite for managing your crypto safely.

Step 2: Installing Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux. 🖥️ Install the application and connect your device to start the setup. The software ensures all transactions remain encrypted and secure.

Creating Your Wallet

New Wallet Setup

Once your device is connected, select "Create New Wallet." The device generates a unique recovery seed of 12-24 words. This seed is your lifeline; keep it offline and safe. 💼

Recovery Seed Security

Your recovery seed allows you to restore your wallet if the device is lost or damaged. Never share it with anyone or store it digitally. Consider a safe deposit box or a fireproof safe for storage.

Securing Your Device

Setting a PIN

Create a secure PIN to prevent unauthorized access. 🔐 Trezor allows entering the PIN via the device touchscreen, ensuring protection from keyloggers and malicious software.

Optional Passphrase

Enhance your wallet’s security by enabling a passphrase. This extra layer acts as a 25th word to your recovery seed, protecting against theft even if your seed is exposed.

Managing Cryptocurrencies

Receiving Funds

To receive crypto, generate a new address via Trezor Suite. 🪙 Share this address with your sender and verify it on the device to ensure authenticity.

Sending Funds

Enter the recipient’s address and confirm the amount. Always verify the transaction on your Trezor® device screen before sending. This process protects you from malware manipulation.

Advanced Features

Firmware Updates

Regularly updating your device’s firmware ensures the latest security protocols are applied. ⚡ Trezor signs all updates digitally, preventing tampering.
