Welcome to the Trezor Setup Guide

Starting up your Trezor device is a simple yet important first step in securing your cryptocurrency. Whether you are a first-time user or looking to reset your device, we will walk you through the entire process. Follow this guide to safely configure your device and ensure your digital assets remain protected.

The official Trezor setup page provides all the necessary tools to begin. Let's get started with this step-by-step guide on how to initialize your Trezor device.

Step 1: Unbox Your Trezor Device

Before you dive into the setup process, let's first check that you have everything you need to begin. Inside the box, you should find:

If anything is missing or seems damaged, please contact Trezor support for assistance.

Step 2: Connecting Your Trezor Device

Now that you have your device, it's time to connect it to your computer or mobile device. Follow these simple steps:

  1. Plug the Trezor into a USB port using the included cable.
  2. Go to Trezor Start in your browser.
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions to begin the initialization process.

Your Trezor device will now ask you to create a PIN code. This is essential for securing access to your wallet. Make sure to pick a unique PIN that only you will know.

Step 3: Backup Your Recovery Seed

Your recovery seed is the key to restoring your wallet if your device is ever lost or stolen. Trezor will generate a unique recovery seed, which you must write down and store in a safe location. It’s recommended to use the included recovery seed cards for this process.

Important: Do not store the seed digitally or share it with anyone, as anyone with access to your recovery seed can control your funds.
