1. Unbox & Inspect
Check tamper-evidence stickers and packaging. Only proceed if the box and seals appear untouched. Genuine devices include model and serial details.
2. Install Trezor Suite
Download the official Trezor Suite from trezor.io/start. Choose the correct installer for Windows, macOS or Linux and run it. Trezor Suite is the official app to manage, update firmware, and sign transactions.
3. Initialize Device
Connect the device, follow on-screen prompts to create a new wallet or restore an existing seed. Write your recovery seed on paper — never in a screenshot or cloud note.
4. Verify & Update
Confirm firmware authenticity via Trezor Suite and apply updates. Verify addresses on device screen before any outgoing transaction — that prevents malicious address substitution.
Quick Safety Checklist
- Only use official downloads from trezor.io
- Never share your seed phrase
- Use a PIN and consider a passphrase (hidden wallet) for extra security
- Store backups in secure, offline locations
