Unboxing Your Trézor®

What’s Inside?

When you open your Trézor® package, you will find:

Initial Inspection

Before setup, check for tamper-evident seals. 🔍 Ensuring your device is intact guarantees it hasn’t been tampered with during shipping. Trézor® takes security seriously, and a visual check is the first step.

Connecting Your Device

Step 1: Visit Trézor.io/Start®

Open your browser and go to Trézor.io/Start®. This page guides you through the setup process and helps you install Trézor Suite, the companion software for managing your cryptocurrencies.

Step 2: Install Trézor Suite

Download Trézor Suite for your operating system. 🖥️ Trézor Suite allows you to manage multiple cryptocurrencies, track balances, send and receive funds securely, and customize device settings.

Setting Up Your Wallet

Create a New Wallet

Power on your device and select “Create New Wallet.” Your Trézor® will generate a unique recovery seed consisting of 12-24 words. ✍️ Write these words carefully on the provided recovery card. This is your only way to recover your wallet if the device is lost or damaged.

Why Recovery Seed Matters

The recovery seed is your ultimate backup. 🛡️ Store it in a safe, offline location. Never share it with anyone, and avoid digital storage options like photos or cloud services.

Securing Your Device

Setting a PIN

Trézor® allows you to set a PIN code to prevent unauthorized access. 🔒 The PIN is entered directly on your device, making it safe from keyloggers or malware.

Optional Passphrase

For advanced security, enable a passphrase—a 25th word that adds an extra layer of protection to your recovery seed.

Using Your Trézor®

Receiving Funds

Generate a new receiving address via Trézor Suite. Share this address with the sender. 🪙 All transactions are signed offline on your device, keeping your private keys secure.

Sending Funds

Enter the recipient address and amount in Trézor Suite. Confirm the transaction on the device. ✅ This ensures that malware on your computer cannot manipulate your transactions.

Advanced Tips
