Trezor Start — Starting Up Your Device

A clear, secure walkthrough to get your hardware wallet up and running — calm, safe, and confident. 🔐

Welcome — Quick Overview

This short presentation guides you through setting up your Trezor device securely. It focuses on safety-first choices — verifying firmware, creating a PIN, recording your recovery phrase, and testing a small transaction. Follow each step carefully; take your time and never share your recovery phrase with anyone.

1

Unbox & Inspect

Open the box and check the tamper-evident seals. Confirm that the seal is intact and that the packaging matches official images from the manufacturer. If something looks altered, stop and contact support. 📦🔎

2

Connect & Update Firmware

Connect the device to your computer and visit the official start site. Only install firmware updates that your device requests from the official source. Updating keeps your device protected against known vulnerabilities.

3

Create PIN & Label Device

Choose a PIN that’s easy for you to remember but hard for others to guess. Assign a label for quick identification. Never input your PIN in unsafe environments or on public computers.

4

Record Your Recovery Phrase

Write down your recovery phrase on the supplied card — offline, with pen. Store it in a secure place (or multiple secure locations). Treat it like the master key to your funds: losing it means losing access.

5

Verify & Test

Verify addresses on-device and do a small test send/receive. Confirm that the address shown on the computer matches what’s on the device screen before broadcasting transactions.

Why these steps matter

Security is layered: hardware integrity, firmware authenticity, strong local access controls (PIN), and offline backups (recovery phrase). Follow the layers to reduce risk and defend your crypto holdings. ✨
