Preparation: What You Need Before Starting

Before diving into the setup process, make sure you have everything ready to ensure a smooth experience:

• Your Trezor Device: Trezor Model T or Trezor One – unopened and genuine.
• Computer or Laptop: A compatible device running Windows 10+, macOS, or Linux.
• USB Cable: Included in the Trezor box for connecting the device.
• Stable Internet Connection: Required for downloading software and firmware updates.
• A Safe & Private Workspace: Setup your wallet in a secure and private environment to avoid distractions and reduce security risks.

Double-check your Trezor packaging and device serial number to ensure authenticity before proceeding.

Step 1: Install Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is the official desktop application to manage your hardware wallet and cryptocurrencies. It connects to your Trezor device via Trezor Bridge.

1. Visit the official download page at trezor.io/start.
2. Choose your operating system: Windows, macOS, or Linux.
3. Download the latest Trezor Suite installer.
4. Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
5. Once installed, launch the Trezor Suite app.

Note: During installation, you may be prompted to install Trezor Bridge, the software that enables communication between your device and computer. Accept and install it to ensure proper functionality.

Step 2: Initialize Your Trezor Device

Now that you have installed the software, connect your Trezor device to your computer using the USB cable. Follow these steps to securely initialize your wallet:

1. When prompted in Trezor Suite, select “Create new wallet” if this is your first time.
2. Set a secure PIN code on your device. This PIN protects your wallet in case your device is lost or stolen.
3. Write down your 24-word recovery seed on the provided recovery card. This seed is your ultimate backup — keep it offline, private, and safe.
4. Confirm your recovery seed by following the verification process on your Trezor device.
5. Set an optional passphrase for an additional layer of security (recommended for advanced users).

Your wallet is now set up and ready to use! You can start receiving, sending, and managing your cryptocurrencies with full control over your private keys.

Security Best Practices

Securing your cryptocurrency holdings starts with your Trezor device setup and continues with your everyday usage habits. Follow these guidelines to maximize your wallet’s security:

• Never share your recovery seed: Keep your 24-word seed offline and never type it into any digital device or website.
• Use a strong PIN: Choose a PIN that is difficult to guess and avoid common patterns.
• Update Firmware: Regularly check for firmware updates through Trezor Suite to stay protected against new vulnerabilities.
• Beware of phishing: Always verify you are using official websites and software to avoid scams.
• Secure your backup: Consider using fireproof and waterproof seed storage options.
• Enable passphrase protection: Adds another layer of defense if your device is lost.

By following these best practices, you ensure your crypto assets remain safe from threats and unauthorized access.
