When you receive your Trezor device, carefully unbox it to ensure that all components are in place. You should find the hardware wallet, a USB cable, stickers, and a quick start guide.
Using the USB cable, connect your Trezor device to your computer or compatible mobile device. Make sure to use a USB port directly on your device to avoid potential connectivity issues.
Open your web browser and navigate to Trezor.io/Start. This webpage will guide you through the setup process. Always ensure you are on the official website to avoid phishing scams.
The Trezor setup screen will provide a series of prompts. These may include downloading the Trezor Bridge software and installing the Trezor Wallet application if prompted. Make sure to follow each instruction carefully.

If you’re creating a new wallet, follow the instructions to generate a recovery seed.
