Step 2: Unbox Your Trezor Device

After receiving your Trezor hardware wallet, carefully unbox it. The package typically includes the Trezor device, a USB cable, recovery seed cards, and a quick-start guide. Ensure all items are present before proceeding.

Step 3: Connect Your Trezor to Your Computer

Using the provided USB cable, connect your Trezor device to your computer. The device should power on automatically. If it doesn’t, ensure the cable is securely connected and that your computer’s USB port is functioning.

Step 4: Install Trezor Bridge

To enable communication between your Trezor device and your computer, you need to install Trezor Bridge. Visit the Trezor Bridge download page and follow the installation instructions for your operating system.

Step 5: Initialize Your Trezor Device

Once Trezor Bridge is installed, go back to Trezor.io/start and follow the on-screen instructions to initialize your device. This process includes setting up a secure PIN and generating a recovery seed.

Setting Up Your PIN

Your PIN is crucial for securing your device. Choose a strong, unique PIN and avoid using easily guessable numbers. If you forget your PIN, you can reset the device using your recovery seed.

Generating a Recovery Seed

The recovery seed is a 24-word phrase that serves as a backup for your wallet. Write down the recovery seed on the provided cards and store them in a secure, offline location. Never share your recovery seed with anyone, as it can be used to access your funds.
