🔐Trezor Wallet® — Starting™ Up Your Device

Welcome to your journey with Trezor Wallet®, the pioneering hardware wallet trusted by millions worldwide to safeguard digital assets. Starting your Trezor device correctly is essential to maintaining the highest level of security for your cryptocurrencies.

🛠️Getting Started: What You Need

Before powering up your Trezor, make sure you have:

• 📦 The official Trezor device (Model One or Model Model T)
• 💻 A computer or mobile device with internet access
• 🔌 USB cable (usually included with your device)
• 🌐 The latest version of the Trezor Suite software (https://trezor.io/start)

⚡Step 1: Connect Your Trezor Device

Unbox your Trezor device carefully and connect it to your computer using the provided USB cable. Once connected:

1. 💡 You should see the Trezor logo light up on the device screen.
2. 🔌 If not, try using a different USB port or cable.
3. 🖥️ Open your preferred web browser and navigate to https://trezor.io/start.

🖥️Step 2: Install and Launch Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is the official companion app that allows you to manage your device and crypto assets.

1. ⬇️ Download the Trezor Suite installer from the official site.
2. 📥 Run the installer and follow on-screen instructions.
3. 🚀 Launch Trezor Suite and wait for it to detect your connected device.

🔑Step 3: Initialize Your Device

You have two options for setting up your Trezor device:

• 🆕 Create a new wallet: Generate a new seed phrase to secure your device.
• ♻️ Recover an existing wallet: Use your previously saved recovery seed phrase to restore access.

Follow the prompts on Trezor Suite and confirm actions on your device screen by pressing the buttons when required.

📝Step 4: Backup Your Recovery Seed Phrase

This is the most critical step in securing your crypto.

• 🖋️ Write down your 12, 18, or 24-word seed phrase carefully on the provided recovery card.
• 🔒 Store this phrase in a safe, private place — preferably offline.
• 🚫 Never store the phrase digitally or share it with anyone.
• ⚠️ Remember, if you lose this phrase, you lose access to your funds forever.

Trezor will never ask for your recovery seed phrase online or via email.

🔄Step 5: Set Up PIN and Passphrase

To protect your device from unauthorized access:

• 🔢 Choose a secure PIN code (4 to 9 digits) during setup.
• 🛡️ Optionally enable a passphrase — an additional word or phrase that acts as a second password.
• ❗ Never forget your PIN or passphrase. Losing these means you cannot access your wallet.

📂Step 6: Manage Your Crypto Assets

With your device initialized, you can now:

• 📥 Receive cryptocurrencies by sharing your public address (never your seed phrase!)
• 📤 Send cryptocurrencies securely by verifying transactions on your device
• 📊 View your portfolio balance and transaction history in Trezor Suite
• 💱 Swap cryptocurrencies directly within the app with integrated partners

🔔Important Security Tips

• 🚨 Always verify website URLs carefully — only use official domains like trezor.io.
• 📵 Avoid using public or shared computers to access your Trezor Wallet.
• 🛡️ Regularly update your Trezor firmware and Trezor Suite software.
• 📞 Beware of scams — Ledger or Trezor support will never call you unsolicited.

⚙️Firmware Updates and Maintenance

Keeping your device firmware up to date is crucial for security and new features:

1. 🔍 Trezor Suite will notify you when an update is available.
2. ⬆️ Follow prompts to download and install updates safely.
3. 🔒 Updates do not affect your funds or recovery seed.
