Welcome — what this guide covers
This friendly walkthrough helps you set up TreZor® safely the first time. It focuses on practical steps: device verification, PIN & recovery seed setup, safe backup practices, and connecting to apps — all written so you can follow along without jargon.
Why follow a step-by-step start?
Hardware wallets like TreZor® are powerful because they isolate your private keys from internet-connected devices. That isolation is effective only when the device is genuine, your recovery seed is private, and you adopt simple safety habits. Skipping steps risks losing access or exposing funds.
Step-by-step: getting started
1. Inspect & verify
Unbox on camera if you like. Check tamper seals, physical integrity, and confirm the device model. Only continue if the packaging looks intact and the device boots to its official welcome screen.
2. Visit the official start page
Open your browser and go to Trézor.io/start. This central page usually offers official setup apps and firmware checks — always use the links shown there, not search results.
3. Create a PIN
Choose a PIN that’s memorable but not guessable. TreZor® will request the PIN on device; avoid typing it into random websites or sharing it with anyone.
4. Write down the recovery seed
The device will display a recovery seed (typically 12–24 words). Write this on paper or steel backup — never photograph or store it in cloud storage. This seed restores access if the device is lost.
After these core steps, install the recommended companion app from the start page, pair the device over USB or Bluetooth if supported, and confirm the device address on-screen before sending or receiving funds.
Common next actions
- Confirm first small transaction to verify flow
- Make at least two physical backups of your recovery
- Store one backup off-site (safe, deposit box)
