Trezor.io/Start® — Starting® Up Your Device with handing

A concise, visually clear walkthrough to get a Trezor hardware wallet set up safely using the official Trezor Suite and support resources.

Overview

What this guide covers

This short presentation walks you through the essentials: unpacking, installing Trezor Suite, creating a secure backup, and basic safety checks so you can start managing crypto with confidence.

Who it’s for

Beginners & returning users

Perfect if this is your first hardware wallet, or you’re reacquainting yourself with Trezor after a break.

Before you start

What you need

Tip: Always use official Trezor pages or the Trezor Shop to buy devices—avoid third-party resellers to reduce risk of tampering.

Install & connect

1. Download Trezor Suite

Visit the official Trezor Suite download page and choose the desktop app or continue in browser. Trezor Suite is the official app to install firmware, manage coins, and configure advanced security features. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

2. Connect your device

Plug your Trezor into USB. Follow the on-screen prompts in Trezor Suite — you’ll be asked to install firmware if needed and to create a new wallet or recover an existing one. Use the Suite app for a guided, secure experience. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Security essentials

Set a PIN & backup seed

Choose a PIN on the device and write down the recovery seed exactly as shown — keep it offline and in multiple secure locations. Never share your seed with anyone.

Confirm supported assets

Check the official supported coins list before moving funds; Trezor documents which networks and tokens are supported so you avoid sending crypto to an unsupported address. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

After setup

Use the app, not unknown tools

Manage transactions through Trezor Suite or trusted third-party wallets that explicitly support Trezor. Keep firmware and the Suite app updated to receive security fixes and features. For legacy Bridge users: Trezor has moved away from the standalone Bridge app—follow official guidance if you previously used it. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
