A crisp, colorful, presentation‑style walkthrough to bring your Trézor® hardware wallet online—written in new words for clarity and confidence.
Begin SetupHere’s the high‑level path you’ll take: unbox and connect, install Trézor Suite, initialize your device, secure with PIN and Recovery Seed, then verify everything with a tiny test transaction.
Open the sealed package, check the hologram, and plug the device into a trusted computer with the original cable.
Authenticity checks protect you from tampered hardware. A clean connection avoids power glitches during setup.

. Follow the on‑screen flow for your model.
Bookmark the page so future updates are only a click away.
Download Trézor Suite for your operating system from the official site and install it. Open the app with your device connected.
Verify the download checksum if offered; it’s a quick integrity check.
Choose “Create new wallet.” The device will display your Recovery Seed words. Write them down in order onto the supplied card—no photos, no screenshots.
Store the card in a dry, private place. Consider a metal backup for long‑term durability.
Pick a PIN that’s long and non‑obvious. You’ll confirm it on the device screen—never share it.
Advanced users can enable a passphrase for added, hidden‑wallet security.
Generate a receiving address in Suite, confirm the address on your device, then send a very small amount to verify everything works.
Always compare addresses on the hardware screen—it’s the trusted display.
It’s the readable blueprint of your wallet. If the device is damaged or lost, those words rebuild your access on a new unit.
Suite is the streamlined route with device updates and checks built in. Stick with it unless you have a specific reason not to.
No, but it adds a powerful, secret layer. Don’t use it unless you can remember it—there’s no reset.
With the wallet initialized, seed secured, and PIN set, your Trézor® is ready to safeguard your assets. Keep firmware current and practice small test sends when adding new accounts or networks.
