Welcome to the official Trezor start guide®! Your journey to secure cryptocurrency storage begins here. 🔒 Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced user, this guide will walk you through every essential step to set up your Trezor device safely & efficiently.

Step 1: Unboxing & Checking Your Device

Upon receiving your Trezor, ensure all components are present: the device, USB cable, recovery seed card, and documentation. ✨ Always verify the device authenticity using trezor.io/start before connecting. Remember: your security depends on starting with an untampered device! ⚠️

Step 2: Connecting Your Device

Connect your Trezor device to your computer using the supplied USB cable. You should see the Trezor logo illuminated on the device screen. 💡 Open your preferred browser and navigate to https://trezor.io/start. Follow the on-screen instructions carefully.

Step 3: Installing Firmware

Firmware ensures your Trezor runs securely & efficiently. 🛡️ If your device requires an update, click Install Firmware on the screen. Never skip this step, as outdated firmware may leave your funds vulnerable. ✔️

Step 4: Creating a Backup (Recovery Seed)

Your recovery seed is the key to accessing your crypto if the device is lost, stolen, or damaged. 📝 Write down the 24-word seed provided during setup on the recovery card. Never store this digitally or online — doing so risks your funds! 🔑

Step 5: Setting a PIN

Choose a secure PIN to prevent unauthorized access. 🔐 Trezor will prompt you to enter the PIN each time the device is connected. Make sure your PIN is unique and not easily guessable (avoid 1234 or 0000).
