Educational Setup Guide for Secure Crypto Storage
This page provides a general, educational guide to help you understand how to begin using your Trezor hardware wallet. Trezor devices protect your cryptocurrency by securing private keys offline. The process of getting started typically involves powering on your device, creating a PIN, and backing up your recovery seed.

When you receive your Trezor wallet, ensure that the packaging is sealed and shows no signs of tampering. Hardware wallets should arrive in perfect condition with tamper-evident features intact. If anything looks unusual, contact the vendor before powering on the device.
Use the included USB cable to connect your Trezor to your computer. Once connected, the device will power on and begin the initial setup sequence. Follow the instructions that appear on the Trezor’s built-in display, as this is the most secure point of reference.
Your PIN protects your wallet if someone gains physical access to your device. Choose a strong, unique PIN—avoid sequences like “1234” or repeated digits. Your PIN should be kept private and never shared or stored digitally.
One of the most important steps is writing down your recovery seed. This series of words allows you to restore your crypto if the device is lost or damaged. Trezor displays the seed on the device screen.
Losing your recovery seed means losing access to your crypto permanently, so handle it with extreme care.
Trezor Suite is the software interface that helps you manage your crypto holdings. It allows you to send, receive, and track digital assets while ensuring your private keys stay inside the hardware device.
Although this page does not offer downloads, you can learn more about how Trezor Suite works and ensure you're using official, trusted sources when obtaining the application.
All sensitive actions—such as confirming transactions—require physical confirmation on the Trezor hardware wallet itself. This ensures that even if your computer is compromised, your crypto transactions remain secure.
Store your Trezor wallet in a dry and safe place, away from extreme heat or moisture. Handle the device carefully and periodically check for firmware updates to maintain optimal security.
