Overview — What you'll do (high level)

Unbox carefully, connect your Trézor, use Trezor Suite to initialize, install any firmware updates, set a secure PIN, and record your wallet backup (wallet backup / recovery) precisely and offline. Follow the official Start page to ensure you run the official software and firmware checks. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Step 1 — Prepare

What you need

Your Trézor device, a computer (or compatible phone), a USB cable, and a safe place to write/store your wallet backup. Avoid public or shared computers when initializing devices for the first time.

Step 2 — Official app

Use Trezor Suite

Open trezor.io/start and follow the links to download or run Trezor Suite — the official app to set up and manage your device. Trezor Suite will guide the initialization, firmware checks, and on-device confirmations. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Step 3 — Firmware & security

Update firmware if prompted

When Trezor Suite notifies you of firmware updates, accept and follow the on-screen and on-device instructions. Firmware is signed and the Suite verifies that signature — this is a critical safety step. Check the firmware changelog for details about releases. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Safety tip

Never install unknown software, never enter your wallet backup into a website, and never share your recovery words. Treat the wallet backup like cash—if it's lost, you can lose access; if it's exposed, your funds are at risk. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Step 4 — PIN and wallet backup

Setting a PIN

Choose a PIN that is memorable but not trivial. The device enforces a delay on failed PIN attempts; write the PIN nowhere that compromises safety.

Recording your wallet backup

Write your wallet backup words on paper (or a metal backup) and store them offline. Follow the recommended procedure in the recovery guides to confirm the backup works for recovery. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

Step 5 — After setup

Test with a small amount

Send a small test transaction to ensure everything works as expected before transferring larger amounts. Use the Suite to manage accounts, transactions, and device settings.

Troubleshooting & support

Official support channels

If anything looks off (unexpected prompts, mismatched firmware messages, or lost backups), stop and contact official Trezor support or consult FAQs and the community forum. Use the official support chat on the site — do not rely on third-party guides for recovery-critical steps. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
