CRITICAL SAFETY CHECK (A Must Read)
Before proceeding with initialization, inspect your device and packaging. **Ensure the holographic seal is intact** and the box shows no signs of tampering. Only continue if you purchased your Trezor directly from the official website or an authorized retailer. Your security depends on a clean start. If anything looks suspicious, **DO NOT proceed** and contact Trezor support immediately.
You should NEVER be asked to enter your Recovery Seed into any software, website, or mobile phone. The seed is for offline storage only.
Your 3-Step Initialization Guide
Install Trezor Suite
Trezor Suite is the official desktop application required to manage your device, view your assets, and make transactions securely. It runs locally on your computer, providing maximum privacy and protection against phishing sites.
- Download directly from the official link.
- Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
- Always verify the software signature after download.
Connect Your Device
Open the Trezor Suite and connect your device using the provided USB cable. The Suite will automatically detect the device and guide you through the firmware installation and initial settings.
- Only use the official cable provided in the box.
- Install the latest official firmware when prompted.
- A device label is optional but recommended for identification.
Create Your Backup (Seed)
The most vital step. The Trezor will display a unique 12, 18, or 24-word Recovery Seed. Write this down **only on the provided cards** and store it in a secure, fireproof location. This seed is your ONLY backup.
- **NEVER** digitize or photograph the seed.
- Set a strong PIN (4-9 digits).
- Verify the seed *before* sending funds to the wallet.
