Trezor One or Trezor Model T. Ensure the packaging and seal are intact. Check for tampering. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
Official USB cable included. Use a modern browser, good cable, reliable power. Avoid hubs if complications. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
You’ll generate a 12‑, 18‑ or 24‑word seed. Have something offline (paper or metal) to record it. Never store digitally or take photos. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
Setup takes about 10‑15 minutes; it's best done when you have uninterrupted attention. Ensure you're on a secure network. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
Open your browser and navigate to https://trezor.io/start. Check the padlock icon and domain spelling. Avoid links from untrusted sources. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
From the site, download the official Trezor Suite (desktop) or use the web version if available. If you encounter browser restrictions, install Trezor Bridge to enable device communication. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
Plug your device into the computer using the USB cable. Follow on‑screen prompts. The device should power on and show a welcome screen. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}
If your device firmware is outdated, the Suite will prompt you to update. Always accept firmware updates from the official source. Confirm using the device itself. :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}
Choose either “Create New Wallet” or “Recover Wallet.” If new, generate the seed phrase; if recovering, enter your existing seed carefully. Do everything on the device. :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}
After seed generation, you’ll be asked to confirm it. Write down each word exactly, in correct order. Store backup offline and securely. :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}
Choose a strong PIN. Optionally enable passphrase (advanced users). The PIN protects access; passphrase adds extra security. :contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15}
Inside Trezor Suite, add cryptocurrency accounts (e.g. Bitcoin, Ethereum). To receive funds, generate an address and verify on device screen. Always double‑check. :contentReference[oaicite:16]{index=16}

Go to Start SetupThis phrase is your backup. Anyone with it can access your wallet. Store it offline; don't photograph it or store in cloud. :contentReference[oaicite:17]{index=17}
Only accept firmware updates from official sources. Confirm package integrity and that your device is genuine (seal, packaging). :contentReference[oaicite:18]{index=18}
Pick a PIN that’s hard for others to guess, but easy for you to remember. Avoid repetitive or sequential numbers. :contentReference[oaicite:19]{index=19}
A passphrase adds extra protection. But treat it like a second seed. If lost, it may make recovery impossible. Use only if you’re confident. :contentReference[oaicite:20]{index=20}
