Before You Begin – What You’ll Need

To make the process smooth and secure, gather the following:

• Your Trezor device (Model One, Model T or other compatible model).
• The USB cable included with the device (avoid using generic or damaged cables).
• A computer (Windows, macOS or Linux) or compatible device with internet access.
• A quiet, private workspace — security matters from the first step.
• Pen/pencil and paper (or metal backup plate) — you’ll write down your recovery seed; do not store it digitally. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
• 10–15 minutes of uninterrupted time to complete the flow carefully.

Once you’re ready, move on to the guided steps below.

Step-by-Step Setup Flow

Follow these sequential steps to set up your device securely:

1. Visit the official page: open your browser and go to https://trezor.io/start. Double-check the URL and the padlock symbol. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
2. Download & install Trezor Suite: Choose the version appropriate for your operating system, or use the browser/web version if available. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
3. Connect your Trezor device: Plug in your hardware wallet with the supplied cable; the software will detect it and prompt you to proceed. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
4. Install firmware or update if prompted: If your device needs firmware, let the Suite guide you through the process—do not interrupt it. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
5. Create a new wallet or recover an existing one: If you’re new, choose “Create new wallet”; if you have a recovery seed already, you can restore. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}
6. Generate and record your recovery seed: Write down the full sequence of words exactly, in order. Store the backup offline. This is the only way to recover your wallet if the device is lost. :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}
7. Set a PIN (and optional passphrase): Choose a strong PIN you can remember but which isn’t easily guessable; for advanced users, enable a passphrase for hidden wallet support. :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}
8. Add accounts and get started: After setup, you can add supported cryptocurrencies, receive your first funds, explore the dashboard in the Suite, and send/receive safely. :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}

Congratulations — once this is complete, you’re ready to take control.

Security & Best Practices

Successful setup is just the beginning. Here are ongoing habits to keep your wallet and assets secure:

• Keep your private recovery seed offline — never photograph or store it in any digital form. :contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15}
• Verify each transaction address on your Trezor device display — malware on your computer might change the address shown on screen. :contentReference[oaicite:16]{index=16}
• Stay up to date — monitor and apply firmware updates as they become available through the official tools. :contentReference[oaicite:17]{index=17}
• Avoid setting up your device on public or unsecured computers; use trusted hardware in a private space. :contentReference[oaicite:18]{index=18}
• Use the official domain and bookmark the start page so you don’t accidentally visit a malicious copy. :contentReference[oaicite:19]{index=19}
• Consider using passphrases (if you understand the risk) for extra privacy layers with hidden wallets. :contentReference[oaicite:20]{index=20}

By adopting these habits, you maintain your self-custody sovereignty and reduce risk vectors.
