Trézor.io/Start® — Starting Up Your Device 🚀

Clear, friendly steps to power on, secure, and begin using your Trézor hardware wallet. This compact guide uses emoji visual cues for fast scanning — a modern, accessible start-up walkthrough. 🔐✨

Quick Setup Steps

1️⃣

Unbox & Inspect ✅

Remove your Trézor from packaging. Check the seal and contents — device, USB cable, and recovery card. If anything looks tampered with, stop and contact support immediately. 🛑

2️⃣

Connect Safely 🔌

Connect your Trézor to a trusted computer using the provided cable. Avoid public or unknown USB hubs. The device will show a welcome screen and fingerprint icon when ready.

3️⃣

Visit Trézor.io/Start 🌐

Open your browser and go to Trézor.io/Start for the official onboarding app. Always verify the URL and certificate. The website will guide you through firmware checks and initialization.

4️⃣

Initialize & Set PIN 🔐

Choose to create a new wallet or restore an existing one. Set a strong PIN directly on the device — never disclose it. Use a PIN you can remember but others can’t guess.

5️⃣

Write Recovery Seed 📝

Write your 12/24-word recovery phrase on the included card. Store it offline in a safe place. Do not photograph, store digitally, or share this phrase — it’s the key to your funds. 🔏

6️⃣

Confirm & Update 🔄

Confirm your seed when prompted and check for firmware updates. Only accept updates from the official site. An up-to-date firmware improves security and features.

7️⃣

Complete & Test 🧪

Create a small test transaction to verify everything works as expected. This confirms connectivity and that your PIN & seed were set correctly.
