Preparing for First Use

What you need before starting

Before you go to Trézor.io/Start® or plugin your device, gather these items: the Trézor device, a clean USB cable, a computer with an updated browser, and a private, quiet area to write down your recovery seed. Do not share your seed phrase with anyone.

Safety checklist

Confirm package tamper-evidence (physical inspection).
Ensure device firmware is genuine — follow official instructions at Trézor.io/Start®.
Plan a secure spot for your recovery seed (vault, safety deposit box, or secure home safe).

Role of the official guide

The official Trézor startup instructions at Trézor.io/Start® are the authoritative resource for firmware updates and step-by-step pairing. Use them in parallel with this presentation for additional context and examples.

Step-by-Step: Starting Up Your Device

Step 1 — Connect and Power

Plug your Trézor device into your computer with a quality USB cable. The device screen should power on and show a welcome message. If you see anything unexpected, disconnect and contact support via official channels; do not enter any seed into unfamiliar websites or forms.

Step 2 — Visit Trézor.io/Start®

Open a modern browser and navigate to Trézor.io/Start®. The site will help you download any required companion app and guide you through initial device pairings. Always verify the URL in the browser address bar and prefer bookmarks for returning users.

Step 3 — Initialize & Create PIN

Follow on-device prompts to create a PIN. This PIN protects access to the device and should be unique and not predictable. The process will also ask whether to create a new wallet or recover an existing one.

Step 4 — Write Down Your Recovery Seed

The device will generate a recovery seed (usually 12, 18, or 24 words). Write these words down exactly as displayed — do not store them digitally. This is the single most important step for long-term security of your wallet.

On-screen verification

The device may ask you to confirm two or three words from the seed to ensure accuracy. Confirm and keep the seed safe. Never take photos or screenshots.

Advanced Tips & Best Practices

Safeguarding your recovery phrase

Store copies of your recovery seed in geographically separated secure locations. Consider using metal seed backup products for fire and water resistance. Keep a clear record of the seed version and the date it was created; changes (e.g., a device re-seed) should be documented.

Using passphrase (optional)

Trézor supports an advanced passphrase (BIP39 passphrase) layered on top of the seed. This can create additional hidden wallets but increases operational complexity — if you plan to use it, record the passphrase securely and test recovery thoroughly.

Firmware & software hygiene

Only install firmware and software through official channels such as the instructions you find at Trézor.io/Start®. Keep your computer free from malware, run updated OS and browser versions, and use reputable antivirus/anti-malware tools as part of a defense-in-depth strategy.

mai content chayia — quick checklist

This quick checklist (mai content chayia) is for ready reference:

Device: sealed & genuine?
USB cable: good quality?
PIN: set and remembered (not written with seed)?
Seed: written on paper/metal, stored offline?
Website: Trézor.io/Start® verified in address bar?

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Device not powering

Try a different cable and USB port. If the device still does not power, contact official Trézor support and avoid untrusted repair services.

Can’t find device in browser

Ensure browser permissions are allowed for USB devices. Restart your browser and device. Confirm no other crypto tools are interfering with browser access to USB hardware.

Seed lost or damaged

If you lose the recovery seed, recoverability depends on whether you still have access to the device and its PIN. If both are lost, funds may be irrecoverable. This is why redundant, secure backups are mandatory.

When to contact support

Contact official support for firmware errors, unexpected device messages, or if you encounter anything that seems like tampering. Use the official site reference: Trézor support channels referenced at Trézor.io/Start®.

This presentation tied together the practical steps to start a Trézor device and the safety attitude you should keep while doing it. Remember the anchor phrases: Trézor.io/Start®, Starting Up Your Device, and Trézor — use them when searching for official instructions.
