Trezor.io/Start | Starting® Up® Your® Device®

1. Why start at Trezor.io/start

Official setup & verification

Always begin with the official setup page. The Trezor start page walks you through the verified steps to install the Trezor Suite, install firmware, and create your recovery seed so private keys never leave the device. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

2. Unboxing & first checks

Inspect packaging

When you unbox, confirm packaging seals and tamper-evidence. If anything looks suspicious, contact official support immediately — do not use the device until verified. The official support pages list tamper and warranty guidance. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

3. Installing Trezor Suite

Download and connect

Download Trezor Suite via the official site and connect your device to the computer. Trezor Suite is the recommended management app for desktop and web interactions. Follow on-screen instructions to pair, set a PIN, and begin firmware setup. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

4. Firmware update best practices

Why update now

Firmware updates deliver security fixes and new features. Trezor Suite displays notifications when an update is available and guides you through a safe update flow — follow the provided prompts rather than third-party instructions. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

5. Creating & storing your recovery seed

Seed safety

Write your recovery seed on the included card or metal backup solution. Never store the seed digitally or share it. Recovery is the only way to restore funds if the device is lost. Treat this as the most sensitive piece of information in your crypto setup.

6. Adding accounts & supported assets

Multi-coin support

Trezor devices support hundreds of coins and tokens through Trezor Suite or compatible third-party wallets. Always confirm network compatibility when moving assets. See the official coin support list for details. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

7. Daily use & transaction safety

Confirm addresses on device

Always verify recipient addresses and transaction details on the physical device screen — not just in your computer’s browser. This prevents address-poisoning and man-in-the-middle attacks. Consult the troubleshooting guides if the device shows security warnings. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

8. Troubleshooting & support

Where to go for help

Use the official support portal for troubleshooting steps, warranty RMA, and order help. Avoid unofficial “how-to” downloads or videos promising shortcuts; use the knowledge base articles provided by the vendor for safe procedures. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

Quick checklist (copy for slides)

• Use official site: trezor.io/start.
• Verify packaging, then connect device.
• Install Trezor Suite and update firmware.
• Create PIN + write seed offline.
• Confirm every transaction on the device screen.
• Store seed in secure, fireproof offline storage.

Security reminder

Never disclose seeds, PINs, or passphrases. Trezor staff will never ask for your seed. If you see a request for it, treat the message as a phishing attempt and contact official support right away. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
