👋 Welcome to Your New Trezor Device
Congratulations on choosing Trezór® for your crypto security! This guide will help you start up your device, keep your funds safe, and make your crypto journey simple and secure.
Whether you're new to crypto or an experienced user, this step-by-step walkthrough covers everything you need to know.
📦 What’s in the Box?
When you open your Trezór package, you will find:
- Your Trezór hardware wallet device — small but powerful.
- USB cable for connecting your device to your computer.
- Recovery seed cards — these are for writing down your recovery phrase.
- User manual with quick start instructions.
Make sure all items are included and the packaging is sealed before proceeding.
🔌 Step 1: Connect Your Device
Plug your Trezór device into your computer’s USB port using the provided cable. The device screen will light up, showing a welcome message.
If you experience any issues connecting, try a different USB port or cable.
💻 Step 2: Visit Trezor.io/start
Open your web browser and go to trezor.io/start.
This official site will guide you through setting up your Trezór device with the latest software and security features.
The page will detect your device and prompt you to download the necessary apps and firmware.
⬇️ Step 3: Install Trezor Bridge
Trezor Bridge is the software that allows your computer to communicate with your Trezór device.
- Download and install Trezor Bridge from the official website.
- Follow the installation instructions carefully.
- After installation, refresh the Trezor start page.
🔐 Step 4: Initialize Your Device
Once your device is connected and recognized, you will be guided to initialize it.
- You can create a new wallet or recover an existing one.
- If new, your device will generate a 24-word recovery phrase.
- Write down this recovery phrase carefully on the seed cards provided.
- Keep it offline and never share it with anyone.
This recovery phrase is your only backup — if you lose it, you lose access to your crypto.
🛡️ Step 5: Set a PIN Code
To protect your device, set a secure PIN code.
- The PIN prevents unauthorized access to your wallet.
- Choose a code that is easy for you to remember but hard for others to guess.
- Enter and confirm your PIN directly on the device screen.
📱 Step 6: Install Trezor Suite
Trezor Suite is the official app to manage your cryptocurrencies.
- Download Trezor Suite from suite.trezor.io.
- Install and open the app.
- Connect your device and log in using your PIN.
- The app will synchronize with your device and show your accounts.
💰 Step 7: Add and Manage Crypto Accounts
Trezor supports many cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and more.
Within Trezor Suite, you can:
- Add new crypto accounts.
- View balances and transaction history.
- Send and receive coins securely.
Always double-check wallet addresses and transaction details before confirming.
📤 Step 8: Sending Crypto Safely
When you want to send crypto from your Trezor:
- Open Trezor Suite and select the account.
- Click “Send” and enter the recipient’s address.
- Enter the amount and confirm details.
- Your Trezor device will ask you to verify and approve the transaction.
This two-step verification protects you from unauthorized transfers.
📥 Step 9: Receiving Crypto
To receive crypto, click “Receive” in the Trezor Suite app.
- Select the correct account.
- Copy your wallet address shown on both the app and device screen.
- Share this address with the sender.
Verifying the address on your device ensures safety against malware or fake apps.
