Plug your Trezor into your computer using the provided USB cable. The device will power on and display the Trezor logo.
Setting Up Your Trezor
Now that you have your Trezor device, follow these steps to set it up:
Connect Your Trezor: Plug your Trezor into your computer using the provided USB cable. The device will power on and display the Trezor logo.
Go to the Trezor Website: Open your web browser and go to the official Trezor website (https://trezor.io/start). Follow the on-screen instructions to install the Trezor Bridge, which allows your computer to communicate with the Trezor device.
Initialize Your Device: After installing the Trezor Bridge, the website will guide you through the initialization process. You will be prompted to create a new wallet or recover an existing one.
Create a New Wallet: Select “Create a new wallet” and confirm your choice on the device. The device will then generate a recovery seed, a series of 12 or 24 words that can be used to recover your wallet if your Trezor is lost or damaged.
Write Down Your Recovery Seed: Carefully write down the recovery seed on the provided recovery seed card. Store this card in a secure location, as anyone with access to your recovery seed can access your funds.
Confirm Your Recovery Seed: The device will ask you to confirm your recovery seed by selecting the words in the correct order. This step ensures that you have correctly recorded the seed.
Set a PIN: You will be prompted to set a PIN for your Trezor. The PIN adds an additional layer of security, preventing unauthorized access to your device. Choose a strong, unique PIN and confirm it on the device.
