Trezor.io/Start@ | Starting® Up® Your# Device

Quick start — in 6 steps

Estimated time: 10–20 minutes. Have a pen and paper nearby (for your recovery seed).

1

Unbox & verify the device

Only use the Trezor device that arrived sealed from an official source. Inspect packaging for tamper signs and follow the package verification steps included with your device.
2

Download Trezor Suite

Open trezor.io/start or download Trezor Suite for your desktop (Windows / macOS / Linux) or mobile app for iOS/Android. Never download wallet software from unverified links.
3

Connect and install firmware

Connect your Trezor with the supplied USB cable. Trezor Suite will guide you to install the latest official firmware — do this before creating a wallet.
4

Create a new wallet & set a PIN

Create a new wallet in Trezor Suite and set a secure PIN. The PIN protects the device if it’s lost or stolen.
5

Write down your recovery seed

Record your recovery seed (24 words for modern Trezor models) on the printed card provided — do this offline. Store the seed securely; anyone with it can access your funds.
6

Receive crypto & verify

Use Trezor Suite to generate receiving addresses and send a small test amount first. Always verify addresses on the device screen before sending funds.

Open Trezor Start (Official setup guide)

Buy only from official sources. Avoid marketplaces and third-party vendors that may sell tampered devices.
Never share your recovery seed. Trezor staff or support will never ask for it.
Keep firmware up to date. Install updates only through Trezor Suite or the official website.
Use a passphrase for extra security. A passphrase acts as a 25th word — treat it carefully and remember it, as losing it can lock you out of funds.
Store backups safely. Consider metal backup plates for long-term durability (fire, water, corrosion resistant).

What if I lose my device?: If you lose your Trezor, you can recover your wallet and funds using the recovery seed on a new Trezor or compatible recovery tool — provided you kept your seed safe.
Can I use Trezor with multiple wallets?: Yes. Trezor supports multiple accounts and many cryptocurrencies. Manage them through Trezor Suite and compatible third-party wallets.
Is my seed stored online?: No. The seed is generated and shown only on the device; it should be written down offline and never photographed or stored digitally.
