Congratulations on getting your Trezór Wallet®! This guide will walk you through every essential step to start up your device securely. We’ll cover everything from unboxing to making your first transaction, with emphasis on keeping your crypto safe from threats.
Trezór Wallet® is a hardware wallet developed by SatoshiLabs. It stores your private keys offline, minimizing exposure to hackers, phishing, malware, and other risks. Using your device properly ensures your digital assets are under your control.
Inspect the packaging for signs of tampering. Your device should come sealed, with anti‑tamper holograms or seals intact. If anything looks odd, reach out to official support.
Open your browser and go to https://trezor.io/start. Always verify the URL and secure lock icon in the browser. Do **not** click on unknown links or use mirrored sites.
From the official page, download Trezór Suite — the desktop app for managing your device. Choose the version for your OS. Optionally, you may use the Web version if available, but desktop is generally safer.
Plug in the Trezór using the USB cable. If your model supports USB‑C or USB micro, use the one provided in the box. The software should detect the device and prompt you forward.
If your device is new, or firmware is outdated, the setup process will require you to install the latest firmware. This step is non‑optional. Firmware is digitally signed; never install firmware from unknown sources. Confirm everything on the device screen.
You’ll be given the option: Create New Wallet or Restore Existing Wallet. If you're new, choose create. If restoring (using seed phrase from previous device), follow the guided restore process.
This is arguably the most important step. Your Trezór will generate a seed phrase (commonly 12, 18, or 24 words). Write them exactly in order on the supplied recovery card or paper. Store this offline, in a safe location. Never take photos, never store online.
Create a PIN code to secure device access. This PIN must be entered whenever the device is connected. Pick something that’s easy for you to remember but hard for others to guess. Avoid common patterns.
Once basic setup is done, you might want to enable further protections:
Once you are all set, using your wallet is simple but always keep security at the forefront:
Trezór Wallet® gives you non‑custodial ownership of your crypto. Unlike leaving coins on exchanges, only you hold the private keys. The hardware wallet isolates these keys, making compromise extremely difficult.
Open‑source code, ongoing audits, frequent firmware updates, broad support for many coins and tokens — these make Trezór among the leading choices for security‑conscious users.
Expect about 10–20 minutes depending on speed of your computer and internet.
Yes — but with caveats. The desktop version of Trezór Suite is more secure. For mobile, ensure you use trusted apps or browser with hardware support.
If lost, you cannot restore your wallet. That means funds in that wallet become inaccessible. Always back up, physically and in safe places.
Starting up your Trezór Wallet® properly isn’t just about getting set up—it’s about securing your financial future. The right steps at the beginning make all the difference. Do it carefully, backup well, protect your seed, and stay aware.
With firmware updated, PIN set, and recovery seed safely stored, you can trust your Trezór Wallet to guard your crypto with strong protection. Welcome to secure self‑custody.
