Your Trezor device (Model One, Model T, etc.) device-start-trzor.teachable.com
The USB cable that came with it. io-trezo-io.pages.dev
A computer (Windows / macOS / Linux) or supported mobile device with a stable internet connection. start-io-trzor-eng.pages.dev

~10–20 minutes of uninterrupted time. start-io-trzor-eng.pages.dev
Step-by-Step Setup Guide
Here’s how to securely set up your Trezor:
Inspect the Device Packaging
Check that the box seal is intact, and there are no signs of tampering. start-----tezor-io.pages.dev+1
If anything seems off, stop — don’t proceed. overview-start-io-trezr.pages.dev
Go to the Official Setup Page
Open your browser and go to https://trezor.io/start. en-help-start-trezoio.teachable.com
Double check the URL to avoid phishing sites. start-io-trzor-eng.pages.dev
Download Trezor Suite
On the start page, choose the correct version for your operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux) or use the web app. help-trezr-io-eng.pages.dev+1
Install the software safely. en-help-start-trezoio.teachable.com
Connect Your Trezor Device
Plug your Trezor into your computer using the USB cable. io-trezo-io.pages.dev
Trezor Suite or the web app should detect the device. welcome-start-en-trezr.teachable.com
Install / Update Firmware
If it’s a brand-new device or your firmware is outdated, Trezor Suite will prompt you to install the latest official firmware. io-trezo-io.pages.dev+1
Confirm the installation on the device screen — never install unsigned or unofficial firmware. start-----tezor-io.pages.dev
Create a New Wallet / Restore
Choose “Create a new wallet” if you’re starting fresh. en-help-start-trezoio.teachable.com
Or, if you already have a recovery phrase, choose “Restore” to bring back your wallet. io-trezo-io.pages.dev+1
Backup Your Recovery Seed
The device will generate a recovery phrase (12 / 18 / 24 words depending on model/settings). en-help-start-trezoio.teachable.com
Write down each word in order on the recovery card or paper. start-io-trzor-eng.pages.dev
Do not take screenshots or store the seed on your computer or phone. help-trezr-io-eng.pages.dev+1
Store the written seed offline, in a safe place (or multiple safe places if possible). start---tizor-io.pages.dev
Confirm the words on your device when prompted. help-trezr-io-eng.pages.dev
Set a PIN
On your Trezor device, set a PIN to protect against unauthorized physical access. start-io-trzor-eng.pages.dev
Avoid easy-to-guess PINs like “1234” or “0000”. en-help-start-trezoio.teachable.com
Enter the PIN on the device, not on your computer — this protects against keylogging. start-io-trzor-eng.pages.dev
Finalize Setup
Once everything is set, you’ll land in the Trezor Suite dashboard (or web app) where you can:
Add accounts (for different cryptocurrencies) help-trezr-io-eng.pages.dev
Enable advanced security (optional): passphrase, Shamir backup, etc. welcome-start-en-trezr.teachable.com
Rename your device (if you want). trezor-io-start-public-faq.typedream.app
As a final check, you can try a test transaction (very small amount) to make sure send/receive works correctly. start-----tezor-io.pages.dev
Security Best Practices
Never share your recovery phrase or PIN with anyone. start-----tezor-io.pages.dev
Verify authenticity: only use trezor.io/start and official Trezor Suite to avoid malicious software. start---tizor-io.pages.dev
Store your seed offline: don’t rely on digital storage. start-io-trzor-eng.pages.dev
Consider extra protection: use passphrase (hidden wallet) for more security, if you understand how it works. welcome-start-en-trezr.teachable.com
Keep firmware updated, but only via the official Trezor path. start-----tezor-io.pages.dev
Practice recovery: try restoring a test wallet (with test funds) to make sure your backup works.
Common Troubleshooting & Risks
If your device isn't detected, try a different USB port or cable. start-trzeo-io.pages.dev
If firmware install fails, don’t force it — check Trezor’s support. overview-start-io-trezr.pages.dev
Be careful of counter‑feits. Counterfeit devices may come with pre‑installed or modified firmware. reddit.com
If you ever see a prompt or behavior that doesn’t match the official flow, stop and verify via Trezor’s official support channels.
