Step 1: Unbox and Inspect Your Device

Trezor wallets are shipped in tamper-proof packaging. Before opening, confirm the seal is intact. The box contains the wallet, USB cable, instructions, and recovery card. Do not use a device if the packaging shows signs of tampering.

Keep the device and accessories safe from damage and unauthorized access.

Step 2: Initialize Your Trezor Wallet

Power on your Trezor and follow the on-screen prompts to set a secure PIN. Next, generate a recovery seed—a list of 12, 18, or 24 words that allow you to restore your wallet if lost or damaged.

Write down your recovery seed on the provided card and store it offline in a secure location. Never share it digitally or with anyone.

Step 3: Install Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is the official application for managing your crypto assets. Download it only from Trezor.io. Connect your device, follow the pairing instructions, and you're ready to manage your cryptocurrency safely.

Trezor Suite allows installing specific apps for coins, checking balances, tracking transactions, and managing multiple accounts securely.

Step 4: Add Accounts and Manage Crypto

Add accounts for each cryptocurrency you hold. Each account has a public address for receiving funds while private keys remain offline. Confirm all transaction details on your Trezor device before authorizing transfers.

This simple verification step ensures security against phishing or malware attacks.

Essential Security Practices

  • Never share your PIN or recovery seed
  • Always confirm addresses on the Trezor device
  • Keep firmware and Trezor Suite updated
  • Store recovery seed offline securely
  • Use only official Trezor accessories
