2. Unboxing and Initial Setup

Before diving into the setup, carefully unbox your Trezor device. Ensure that the packaging is intact and the holographic seal is not broken, as tampering may compromise your security.

Tip: Always verify your device authenticity using the instructions at Trezor Start.

Once unboxed, connect your Trezor to your computer using the supplied USB cable. Your device will prompt you to initialize it, guiding you through each step on the device screen.

3. Setting Up Your PIN

Security begins with your personal PIN code. This code protects your wallet from unauthorized access. When setting up your PIN, ensure it is unique, memorable, and not shared with anyone.

Your Trezor device will walk you through creating the PIN directly on the device screen, making it resistant to keyloggers and malware.

Follow these steps carefully:

  1. Write down each word exactly as shown on the device screen.

Note: Anyone with access to your recovery seed can control your assets. Treat it with the highest level of security.
