Getting Started with Your Trezor
Welcome to the world of secure cryptocurrency storage. Your Trezor hardware wallet provides the highest level of security for your digital assets. Follow this guide to set up your device properly and ensure your funds are protected.
Unbox Your Trezor
Carefully open your Trezor package. Inside, you'll find your Trezor device, USB cable, recovery seed cards, and instruction manual. Verify that all items are present and the security seal is intact.
Connect to Computer
Connect your Trezor device to your computer using the provided USB cable. Ensure you're using a secure computer free from malware. Visit the official Trezor website to begin the setup process.
Install Trezor Bridge
Download and install Trezor Bridge, the communication tool that allows your browser to interact with the Trezor device. This is required for the setup process and future interactions with your wallet.
Initialize Device
Follow the on-screen instructions to initialize your Trezor. You'll be prompted to install the latest firmware, which contains important security updates and new features for your device.
Backup Recovery Seed
Your Trezor will generate a unique recovery seed - typically 12, 18, or 24 words. Write these down in exact order on the provided recovery cards and store them in a secure location. This seed is your backup if the device is lost or damaged.
