🔐 Trëzôr Wallet® | Starting Up Your Device®

Welcome to the official setup guide for your Trëzôr Wallet®. This guide is designed to help you safely initialize and operate your new device, whether it's a Trezor Model One or Model T. Hardware wallets like Trëzôr are designed to keep your cryptocurrencies secure from hackers, malware, and phishing threats by storing your private keys offline. By the end of this walkthrough, you'll be ready to receive, send, and manage crypto assets with peace of mind.

📦 Step 1: Unboxing Your Trëzôr Wallet®

Carefully open the sealed packaging. You should find the following items inside:

Your Trëzôr device (Model One or Model T)
USB cable
Recovery seed cards (1 or 3 depending on model)
Getting started guide
Stickers and warranty info

🚨 Note: If the holographic seal is damaged or if the box looks tampered with, do not use the device. Contact Trezor Support immediately.

🌐 Step 2: Visit trezor.io/start

This is the official entry point for setting up your device. Here’s what to do:

Connect your Trëzôr to your computer using the provided USB cable
Download and install Trezor Suite (available for Windows, macOS, and Linux)
Open Trezor Suite and wait for it to detect your device

⚙️ Step 3: Install Firmware

New Trëzôr devices are shipped without firmware installed. This is for security reasons, ensuring that you install a fresh, untampered version.

Click “Install Firmware” in Trezor Suite
Verify the fingerprint shown on your device screen
After installation, proceed to wallet setup

🔐 Step 4: Create Your Wallet

Now you’ll choose how to initialize your wallet:

Select “Create new wallet”
Choose a backup type: Standard (1 seed) or Shamir Backup (3+ shares, Model T only)
Follow on-screen prompts to proceed

📝 Step 5: Back Up Your Recovery Seed

This is the most crucial step of your setup. Your recovery seed is your ultimate backup. It allows you to recover your wallet if your device is lost, stolen, or damaged.

Write down the 12, 18, or 24 words shown on your Trëzôr screen
Use the provided recovery sheet or a fireproof alternative
Never save the seed on your computer, phone, or online

🔒 Security Tip: Store your recovery seed in a secure physical location — like a fireproof safe — and never share it with anyone.

🔢 Step 6: Set a PIN

To protect your device from unauthorized use, set a secure PIN:

PINs must be 4 to 9 digits
Use a pattern that’s not easy to guess
Enter it using the randomized grid on your device screen

💼 Step 7: Add Crypto Wallets

With your wallet initialized, you can now add crypto accounts. Supported assets include:

Bitcoin (BTC)
Ethereum (ETH)
Litecoin (LTC)
Cardano (ADA)
Thousands of ERC-20 tokens

Use the “Add Account” button in Trezor Suite to manage wallets separately for each asset.

📥 Receiving Crypto

Select your desired wallet (e.g., Ethereum)
Click “Receive”
Verify the address on your Trëzôr device
Share only after confirming

📤 Sending Crypto

Click “Send” in Trezor Suite
Paste the recipient address and enter the amount
Adjust gas/fees if needed
Confirm details on your device and approve

🔁 Restore Wallet (if needed)

To restore a lost or reset wallet:

Select “Recover wallet” during initial setup
Enter your recovery seed word-by-word on the device
Set a new PIN and you’re good to go
