This presentation walks you through setting up a Trezor hardware wallet from first power‑on to the moment you securely store your first crypto keys. Use the official start page at trezor.io/start as you follow each step.
Open the box and confirm the tamper‑evident seals are intact. Inside you should find the device, USB cable, recovery card(s), and documentation. If anything looks tampered with, contact the vendor immediately.
Keep the outer packaging until setup completes to verify authenticity if needed.
Plug your Trezor into a computer using the included cable. Avoid untrusted public computers. The device screen will display a welcome message and prompt to open the official start page.
The official start page will guide you to install the recommended Trezor Suite or use the web interface. Choose the option that suits your operating system and follow prompts to install any required drivers or updates.
Firmware updates improve security and add features. The Trezor interface will detect whether your device needs an update and walk you through a verified update process. Never interrupt a firmware flash once started.
The device will generate your recovery seed. Write the words exactly, in order, on the provided recovery card. Never store the seed digitally or share it. This seed is the single point of recovery for your crypto funds.
Confirm a handful of words on the device to ensure you recorded the seed correctly. This step prevents human errors and ensures you can recover the wallet later if needed.
Choose a PIN you can remember but others cannot guess. The PIN is required whenever the device is unlocked and adds a layer of defense in case of physical theft.
Always verify the receiving address on the Trezor screen before sharing it. For sending, review the transaction details and confirm on the device. Hardware signing ensures that private keys never leave the device.
Now you are ready to use your Trezor with confidence.
