A concise, practical guide to unboxing, initializing, and safely handling your Trezor hardware wallet.
Welcome! This short presentation (≈800 words) guides you through the first-time setup and day-to-day handling of your Trezor device. It focuses on secure practices, simple steps, and official resources so you can manage your crypto confidently.
On arrival, check tamper seals and packaging. If anything looks altered, contact support immediately. Keep the box and recovery card for reference.
Always allow the device to update its firmware through the official app. The device will display a fingerprint; verify it matches the fingerprint shown in Trezor Suite before continuing.
Follow on-screen steps to create a new wallet or recover an existing one using your 12/24-word recovery phrase. Never save the phrase digitally; write it on the provided card and store it in a secure place.
For sending funds, review every address on the device screen and confirm amounts on the hardware — this prevents remote tampering. For receiving, generate fresh addresses from the device to improve privacy.
Store the recovery card in at least one secure, separate location (e.g., a safe or bank deposit box). Consider a steel backup for long-term durability against fire/water.
If you suspect your device or environment is compromised, move your funds to a new wallet with a newly generated recovery phrase using a different, secure device. Contact official support for guidance.
