Step 1: Visit Trezor.io/start

Begin your journey by visiting the official setup page: Trezor.io/start. This page provides you with all the necessary information and links to get your Trezor device up and running. It's designed to guide you through each step, making the process straightforward and hassle-free.

Step 2: Unbox Your Trezor Device

Upon receiving your Trezor hardware wallet, unbox it carefully. Ensure that the packaging is intact and that the security seal is unbroken. Inside the box, you should find your Trezor device, a USB cable, a recovery seed card, and some instructions. If anything seems tampered with, contact Trezor support immediately.

Step 3: Connect Your Trezor to Your Computer

Use the provided USB cable to connect your Trezor device to your computer. Once connected, your device will power up, and you will be prompted to visit Trezor.io/start if you haven't already. This is where you'll begin the setup process.

Step 4: Install Trezor Bridge

For your Trezor device to communicate effectively with your computer, you need to install Trezor Bridge. This software acts as an intermediary, enabling secure communication between your hardware wallet and your computer. Download Trezor Bridge from the Trezor Bridge page and follow the installation instructions specific to your operating system.

Step 5: Initialize Your Trezor Wallet

With Trezor Bridge installed, you can now initialize your wallet. Follow these steps:

1. Create a PIN: You'll be prompted to set a PIN code for your device. Choose a PIN that is secure and memorable. Avoid simple or easily guessable combinations.

2. Write Down Your Recovery Seed: Your Trezor device will generate a 24-word recovery seed. This seed is crucial for recovering your wallet in case your device is lost or damaged. Write down the seed words on the recovery card provided and store it in a secure place. Never share your recovery seed with anyone and avoid storing it digitally.

For more detailed guidance on setting up your recovery seed, refer to the Trezor Recovery Seed Guide.

Step 8: Backup and Secure Your Wallet

Ensuring the security of your wallet is paramount. Make multiple copies of your recovery seed and store them in different secure locations.

Follow the best practices outlined in the Trezor Security Best Practices Guide to enhance the security of your digital assets.
