Starting Fresh with Your Trezor
Think of your Trezor as a digital vault — compact, silent, but powerful enough to safeguard your life savings. Setting it up doesn’t need to be intimidating. In just a few minutes, you’ll be ready to move coins away from exchanges and into your own care.
Unboxing & First Steps
Inside the box you’ll find your Trezor device, a USB cable, and a recovery sheet. Connect the device to your computer and follow the on-screen instructions to begin the setup wizard.
Recovery Sheet
This small card is more important than the device itself. Write down the 12 or 24 recovery words exactly as shown. Never take a photo or save it online — paper is safest.
Making Crypto Part of Everyday Life
Once your wallet is live, using it becomes second nature. Transactions require just a few clicks — and one final approval on the device screen. This habit ensures no one can move funds without your knowledge.
- Sending: Enter the recipient address in Trezor Suite, confirm on your device, and your transaction is broadcast.
- Receiving: Generate a new address for each transaction to maximize privacy.
- Checking Balance: Open Trezor Suite to see your portfolio in real time — no passwords or accounts needed.
Smart Habits for Long-Term Safety
Cryptocurrency doesn’t come with a “forgot password” option. Your habits decide whether your coins remain yours for years to come.
- Keep it offline: Your recovery words should live in a safe or secure drawer, never in cloud storage.
- Update regularly: Firmware updates not only fix issues but also add support for new coins.
- Double-check: Always confirm amounts and addresses on the device itself, not just the computer screen.
With these practices, your Trezor becomes more than a gadget — it becomes the guard of your digital independence. 🌍
