Welcome to Trezor.io/Start®

Congratulations on taking the first step towards securing your digital assets with Trezor. Your new hardware wallet is the safest way to manage cryptocurrencies, putting control and security directly in your hands. At Trezor.io/Start®, we make starting up your device simple, quick, and secure.

Why Choose Trezor?

• Secure Storage: Your private keys never leave your device.
• Easy to Use: Intuitive interface designed for beginners and pros alike.
• Open Source: Transparent and community-vetted software.
• Multi-Currency Support: Manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, and over 1,000 other cryptocurrencies.
• Backup & Recovery: Effortlessly restore your wallet with your recovery seed.

Step 1: Unbox Your Trezor Device

Your Trezor device arrives in a secure, tamper-proof package to ensure its integrity. Before you open, check the package seal. If it looks compromised, contact support immediately.

Inside the box, you will find:

• Your Trezor hardware wallet
• A USB cable
• Recovery seed cards
• Quick start guide

Step 2: Connect and Initialize

1. Connect your Trezor to your computer using the USB cable.
2. Visit trezor.io/start in your browser.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to download the Trezor Bridge software (if not already installed). This software securely connects your device to your computer.
4. Once connected, you’ll be prompted to create a new wallet or restore an existing one.

Step 3: Set Up Your PIN

For enhanced security, you will set a PIN on your device. The PIN prevents unauthorized access and ensures only you can manage your wallet.

• The PIN is never transmitted or stored anywhere.
• Choose a PIN you can remember but others cannot guess.
• You will enter the PIN directly on your device screen, not on your computer, protecting you from keyloggers.

Step 4: Backup Your Recovery Seed

Your recovery seed is the master key to your wallet. Write it down on the provided recovery cards and store it safely offline.

• Never share your recovery seed with anyone.
• If your device is lost or damaged, the recovery seed allows you to restore your wallet and funds.
• Avoid storing the seed digitally or online to prevent theft.

Step 5: Start Using Your Wallet

Once your wallet is set up, you can begin:

• Sending and receiving cryptocurrencies securely.
• Managing multiple assets with ease.
• Using integrated apps like exchange services and password managers.
• Keeping your digital assets safe with regular firmware updates.

Stay Safe with Trezor

• Always verify you are visiting the official website: https://trezor.io.
• Beware of phishing sites and fake emails asking for your seed or PIN.
• Update your device firmware regularly to benefit from security improvements.
• Use multi-factor authentication where possible.
