Complete Setup Guide

1

Prepare Your Environment

Before starting, ensure you have a clean, secure computer with internet access. Download Trezor Suite from our official website and disconnect from any untrusted networks.

Pro Tip: Use a computer that hasn't been used for cryptocurrency activities before for maximum security.
2

Connect Your Trezor

Connect your Trezor device using the provided USB cable. Trezor Suite will automatically detect your device and guide you through the initial setup process.

Security Check: Always verify you're downloading Trezor Suite from trezor.io/start to avoid phishing sites.
3

Install Firmware

Your Trezor will prompt you to install the latest firmware. This critical step ensures your device has the most up-to-date security features and cryptocurrency support.

Important: Never disconnect your Trezor during firmware installation. The process typically takes 2-3 minutes.
4

Create Your PIN

Set up a secure PIN using the randomized number matrix on Trezor Suite. This PIN protects your device from physical unauthorized access.

Best Practice: Choose a PIN that's easy for you to remember but difficult for others to guess. Avoid simple patterns.
5

Backup Your Recovery Seed

Your Trezor will generate a unique 12, 18, or 24-word recovery seed. Write these words down in exact order on your recovery card and store it securely.

Critical: Your recovery seed is your master key. Store multiple copies in different secure locations and never digitize it.
6

Start Using Your Trezor

Once setup is complete, you can start adding cryptocurrency accounts, making transactions, and exploring advanced features through Trezor Suite.

Next Steps: Consider enabling additional security features like passphrase encryption for enhanced protection.
