Welcome to the Trezor family! Setting up your Trezor device is a simple process designed to ensure the highest level of security for your cryptocurrencies. Follow this guide to get your Trezor up and running in no time.

Step 1: Visit the Trezor Start Page

Begin by navigating to trezor.io/start on your web browser. This page will provide you with all the necessary software and instructions tailored to your specific Trezor model.

Step 2: Download Trezor Suite

Click on the link to download Trezor Suite, the official desktop application that allows you to manage your Trezor device. Trezor Suite is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Once downloaded, install the application on your computer.

Step 3: Connect Your Trezor Device

After installing Trezor Suite, open the application and connect your Trezor device to your computer using the provided USB cable. Ensure that your device is firmly connected and powered on.

Step 4: Install Firmware

If this is your first time using the Trezor device, you will need to install the latest firmware. Trezor Suite will prompt you to do this. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the firmware installation. This step is crucial for the security and functionality of your device.

Step 5: Create a New Wallet

Once the firmware installation is complete, you will be prompted to create a new wallet. Click on "Create a new wallet" and follow the instructions. This process will involve generating a recovery seed.

Step 6: Backup Your Recovery Seed

Your recovery seed is a critical component of your wallet's security. It consists of 12, 18, or 24 words that you must write down and store in a secure location. Never share your recovery seed with anyone and do not store it digitally. Confirm that you have written down the seed correctly by following the prompts in Trezor Suite.

Step 7: Set a PIN

Next, set a PIN for your Trezor device. The PIN will be required every time you connect your device to your computer. Choose a PIN that is easy for you to remember but difficult for others to guess.

Step 8: Start Using Your Trezor

With your PIN set and your recovery seed securely backed up, your Trezor device is now ready to use. You can start managing your cryptocurrencies, making transactions, and exploring the features of Trezor Suite.
