Welcome to Trezor — Start Here (Trezor.io/Start)

```

Congratulations on choosing a Trezor hardware wallet — one of the simplest and most secure ways to store your cryptocurrency keys. This guide walks you through the steps on Trezor.io/Start, from unboxing to first transaction, while highlighting essential safety practices you should follow.

Before you begin — what you’ll need

Your Trezor device (Model One or Model T) and its USB cable.
A computer with internet access and a modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Brave).
A quiet, private place to write down your recovery seed.

Step-by-step: Set up on Trezor.io/Start

Go to Trezor.io/Start — always type the address into your browser or use a trusted bookmark. Verify the site uses HTTPS and shows the Trezor logo.
Connect your device using the supplied cable. Follow on-screen prompts to confirm the device model and initialize it.
Create a new wallet when prompted. The device will generate a recovery seed — write every word down in the exact order on the card included with your box or on a secure metal backup if you have one.
Choose a PIN on the device. This PIN protects the device if it’s lost; make it memorable for you but not guessable by others.
Confirm your seed by checking a few words on the device or following the verification prompts. This ensures your backup matches the generated seed.
Install Trezor Suite (optional) — the desktop/web application (linked from Trezor.io/Start) offers portfolio management, firmware updates, and app integrations.

Important: Never store your recovery seed online, take photos of it, or enter it into any app or website. The recovery seed is the master key to your funds.

Security tips — keep your crypto safe

Hardware wallets protect the private keys by keeping them isolated from your computer. But user habits matter. Always verify the device display when confirming addresses, keep firmware up-to-date via official sources, and be cautious of phishing sites and unsolicited support messages. If you ever see unexpected prompts on the device display, disconnect and investigate using the official Trezor support pages.

Troubleshooting & common questions

If your device isn’t recognized, try a different USB port and cable — avoid third-party or damaged cables. For firmware issues, use Trezor Suite or the instructions on Trezor.io/Start. Lost or damaged recovery cards can be recreated only if you still have the device and access to the seed; a lost seed means lost access to funds unless you have a backup.

Using your wallet — first transaction checklist

Confirm the receiving address on your Trezor device display before sending funds.
Send a small test amount first to verify everything looks correct.
When receiving, always check the address and the receiving app’s details on the device screen.
