Getting Started with Your Trézór® Device
Step 1: Unbox Your Device
Inside the box, you’ll find your Trézór device (Model One or Model T), a USB cable, user documentation, and recovery seed cards. Always verify the tamper-proof seal to ensure the device hasn’t been altered before first use.
Step 2: Visit Trezor.io/Start
Go to Trezor.io/Start using a trusted browser. This official page ensures you're not redirected to a phishing site. Choose your specific device model, then follow the detailed setup instructions provided.
Step 3: Download and Install Trezor Suite
Trezor Suite is the official desktop and browser interface used to manage your wallet. From sending crypto and managing tokens to tracking your portfolio, Trezor Suite connects seamlessly with your hardware wallet.
Once downloaded, install Trezor Suite and connect your device using the USB cable. The suite will then prompt you to proceed with device initialization.
Step 4: Initialize Your Wallet
Here, you'll be asked to:
- Create a new wallet or recover an existing one
- Generate your recovery seed phrase (typically 12 or 24 words)
- Set a secure PIN on your device
Your recovery phrase is critical—it’s the master key to your crypto. It should be stored securely offline, never saved on your computer or phone.
