This presentation guides you step-by-step through unpacking, connecting, and securely initializing a Trezor® hardware wallet. Follow each slide to complete setup confidently — from physical checks to recovery seed management and first transactions.
Inspect the box seal and tamper-evident elements. Confirm device model and packaging integrity. Never use a device that appears opened or damaged.
Connect the device to your computer using the supplied USB cable. For mobile, use USB-C or an OTG adapter as appropriate. Allow permission prompts on your host device.
You can initialize via Trezor Suite (desktop app) or through the secure web start at Trezor.io/Start®. Both guide you through firmware checks and device initialization.
trezor.ioSelect Create a new wallet for a brand-new setup or Recover wallet to restore from an existing recovery seed. New device flows generate a fresh seed on-device.
Pick a PIN that you can remember but others cannot guess. The PIN is required every time the Trezor is connected and unlocks access to accounts.
A passphrase acts as a 25th word added to your recovery seed. Use it only if you understand the risks and backup implications — losing the passphrase means losing access.
The device displays a recovery seed (mnemonic words). Write these words on the supplied recovery card or a secure, offline medium. This seed is the master backup for your funds.
The host app will ask you to confirm a subset of seed words to ensure you recorded them correctly. Confirm firmware fingerprints and complete any additional software verification steps.
Before moving large amounts, send a small test transaction to and from the device to confirm end-to-end functionality.
Check for firmware updates via Trezor Suite and install only when you can verify authenticity. Always use the official channels and keep your recovery information secure.
Visit the official start page, Trezor Support, and the Trezor Suite for downloads and guides. Reach out to authorized resellers if in doubt — always verify authenticity.
