Step 1: Inspecting the Integrity of Your Trezór®

Unboxing Your Trezór® Device

Before beginning the **Starting™ Up Your Device** process, the absolute first step is to verify the integrity of the retail packaging. Your **Trezór®** device is delivered in specially sealed packaging designed to provide tamper-evidence. This is a critical checkpoint for **secure wallet management** and **self-custody**. Please carefully inspect all holographic seals and adhesive tabs. If there is any evidence of tampering, any broken seals, or any signs that the box has been opened previously, **DO NOT PROCEED**. Contact Trezor support immediately. This verification step is a non-negotiable part of **Trezor.io/Start®**.

The security philosophy of Trezor dictates that trust begins with the device itself. Only once you have confirmed the untouched state of the **official packaging** can you proceed confidently to the digital steps. Remember, your **Trezór®** device contains no firmware or pre-installed software upon shipment, reinforcing its uncompromised state and ensuring you control the **secure boot process** from the start.

1.1 Check Holographic Seals for Tears or Lifts.
1.2 Confirm No Pre-printed **Recovery Seed** Cards were Included. (This must be generated on the device).
1.3 Gather the Included USB Cable and **Trezór®** Device.

Step 2: Downloading the Official Trezor Suite App

The **Trezor Suite App** is the only authorized interface for initial setup and ongoing **secure wallet management**. It provides a fully isolated and trusted environment, eliminating the risks associated with browser-based extensions or third-party web wallets. To safely begin **Starting™ Up Your Device**, you **must** download and install the official desktop application. Navigate directly to the confirmed official URL via **Trezor.io/Start®** to ensure you are obtaining the genuine software. Downloading from unofficial sources poses a critical threat to your **digital assets**.

The **Trezor Suite App** handles the subsequent steps, including the **firmware update** and the generation of your **recovery seed**, all within a verified and protected environment. Once downloaded, install the **Trezor Suite App** on your primary computer. Ensure your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux) is up-to-date for optimal **Trezor connection** stability. This centralized approach to **secure wallet management** is integral to the overall **Trezór®** security model. The software's streamlined process is designed to make the crucial first steps easy while maintaining maximum security.

Why Trezor Suite?

⚡ Eliminates browser risks for initial **Trezor.io/Start®** process.
⚡ Verifies **Trezór®** device authenticity during **firmware update**.
⚡ Supports the entire **secure wallet management** lifecycle from one dashboard.
⚡ Essential for generating and verifying your **recovery seed** **securely**.

Step 3: Initializing the Device and Firmware Setup

With the **Trezor Suite App** running, it's time for the physical **Trezor connection**. Use the provided USB cable to connect your **Trezór®** device to your computer. The Suite will automatically detect the uninitialized device and prompt you to install the official **firmware update**. This is a crucial security step as it loads the operating system onto the device, establishing the **secure boot process**. Always ensure the firmware hash displayed on the Trezor screen matches the hash displayed in the **Trezor Suite App**. This dual verification is how **Trezór®** confirms device authenticity and prevents potential supply chain attacks, providing trust right from the start of your **secure wallet management** journey.

The **firmware update** process may take a few minutes. **DO NOT** disconnect the **Trezór®** device during this critical operation. Once complete, the device will reboot, and you will be prompted within the **Trezor Suite App** to create a new wallet. This sequence confirms that your device is running the latest, verified code directly from the **Trezór®** development team, establishing a foundation of trust for your future **digital assets**. This installation confirms the **Trezor.io/Start®** integrity check.

After the **secure boot process** is finished and the **firmware update** is complete, the next phase focuses on personalization and establishing the ultimate security layers. This includes setting up your **PIN protection** and, most importantly, backing up your **recovery seed**. These subsequent steps solidify the device's role as your ultimate safeguard for **self-custody** in the crypto space, moving beyond simple **Trezor connection** to full operational readiness.

Firmware Verification Checklist

Check for **Trezór®** screen hash match.
Ensure reliable power source during installation.
Never disconnect the **Trezor connection** mid-update.
Confirm successful reboot after **firmware update**.

Step 4: Securing Your Future with the Recovery Seed

Generating and Storing Your Recovery Seed

This is the most critical step in the entire **Trezor.io/Start®** procedure. Your **recovery seed** (typically 12, 18, or 24 words) is the master key to all your **digital assets**. If your **Trezór®** device is lost, stolen, or damaged, this seed is the only way to recover your wallet on a new device. The seed is generated *offline* on the **Trezór®** hardware itself, and the words are displayed *only* on the device screen—never on your computer screen. This isolation ensures the maximum level of **security**.

You **must** write down the **recovery seed** on the provided, blank **offline backup** cards. Write neatly and accurately. Double-check every word. **NEVER** digitize this seed: do not take a photo, store it on a computer, email it, or type it into any software. This must remain a physical, **offline backup**. Store your written **recovery seed** in a secure, fireproof, and waterproof location, far away from your physical **Trezór®** device. This commitment to **offline backup** defines true **self-custody** and is the bedrock of your long-term **secure wallet management**. The **Trezor Suite App** will guide you through a mandatory verification process, ensuring you have correctly recorded the **recovery seed** before you can finalize the setup.

Once this process is successfully completed via **Trezor.io/Start®**, you have established the ultimate safety net for your funds. Remember to treat your **recovery seed** with greater care than any physical cash or treasure. It is the key to your entire future in the **Web3 World**.

Crucial Security Protocol: PIN and Naming

Setting Your PIN Protection

After the seed, you will set your **PIN protection**. This is an on-device security measure to protect against physical theft. The PIN layout randomizes on the screen, requiring you to enter the corresponding numbers on your computer based on the pattern shown on your **Trezór®** device. Never enter your PIN directly into the computer's keyboard.

Device Naming

Finally, give your device a unique **device naming** tag (e.g., 'MyTrezor-Home'). This simple step aids in verification and personalizes your **secure wallet management** experience within the **Trezor Suite App**. Congratulations, your **Trezór®** device is now fully operational and **securely** configured via **Trezor.io/Start®**!
