Trezor.io/Start — Starting® Up® Your® Device®

A concise, practical walk-through to get your Trezor hardware wallet set up safely. Follow the official steps and verify software before you begin.

1. Before you begin — unbox & inspect

1.1 Check packaging and device

Open the package and inspect for tamper-evidence. If anything looks suspicious, stop and contact official support. Keep your device, the USB cable, and any included materials nearby.

1.2 What you’ll need

2. Install Trezor Suite (official app)

2.1 Download & verify the app

Go to the official start page to download Trezor Suite. Always verify the download using the instructions on the official site before running the installer.

2.2 Desktop vs. web

For the best experience use the desktop Trezor Suite. You can also use the web app if required — but only from the official domain.

3. Initialize your device

3.1 Connect and install firmware

When you first connect the device, Trezor Suite may prompt you to install the latest firmware. This is normal — install firmware only from the official app prompts.

3.2 Create a PIN and wallet

Follow on-screen steps to set a PIN and create a wallet. Choose a strong PIN you will remember; do not store it online.

3.2.1 Backup (wallet recovery)

Write your recovery words on the provided backup card (or other recommended method). Treat this backup as the master key to your funds — keep it offline and secure.

4. Security best practices

4.1 Verify addresses on the device

Always confirm transaction details on the Trezor screen (not only on your computer) before approving a send.

4.2 Software hygiene

Only download Trezor Suite from the official site and follow the official verification guides to confirm the installer’s integrity.

5. After setup — moving coins & ongoing care

5.1 Move small test amounts first

When transferring assets from exchanges or other wallets, send a small test amount first to confirm everything is configured properly.

5.2 Keep firmware & software updated

Periodically check for firmware and Trezor Suite updates. Update promptly when notified — updates can include security improvements.
