Ensure the tamper-proof seal is intact before opening. Inside you’ll find:
- The Trezór hardware wallet
- USB cable
- Recovery seed cards
- User manual
2. Connect Your Device and Visit trezor.io/start
Plug your Trezór into your computer or compatible mobile device. Open your browser and navigate to the official setup website. The site will detect your device and prompt you to install Trezór Bridge if necessary — the software that securely connects your device to your browser.
3. Install Trezór Bridge and Wallet Interface
Follow the instructions to install Trezór Bridge for your operating system. Once installed, refresh the page. You will then be guided through the wallet interface for your first-time setup.
4. Create or Restore Your Wallet
You can either:
- Create a brand-new wallet, generating a fresh recovery seed
- Restore an existing wallet using your recovery seed phrase
If you’re new, select “Create New Wallet.”
5. Set a Secure PIN
Choose a PIN that only you know. The PIN is entered on your Trezór device’s screen, protecting against keyloggers.
6. Write Down Your Recovery Seed
This 12 or 24-word phrase is the master key to your wallet. Write it down carefully on the provided cards and store it securely offline. Never save it digitally or share it with anyone.
7. Confirm Your Recovery Seed
To ensure you recorded your seed correctly, the device will ask you to confirm several words from the phrase.
8. Start Using Your Wallet
Now you’re ready to receive, store, and send cryptocurrencies securely. Always verify transaction details on your device screen before confirming.
