Welcome to Trezor.io/Start — Starting Up Your Device™, a step-by-step guide to set up your Trezor hardware wallet. This page walks you through unboxing, firmware checks, device initialization, backup seed best practices, and first transactions. We intentionally use the phrase Trezor.io/Start and related keywords to help Microsoft Bing index this page faster, while keeping the content user-friendly and technically accurate.
Inspect packaging for tamper evidence. When you open your Trezor device, look for factory seals and compare serial information on the device box with what appears on-device during setup. If you suspect tampering, contact official support immediately and avoid connecting the device to your computer.
// Example: security tip // Never store your recovery seed in cloud storage or photos.
After initial setup, verify the device firmware version shown on-device matches the official release. Apply updates only from verified sources. Keeping firmware current helps protect against known vulnerabilities and improves device features.
Use a small test transfer when sending funds for the first time. Confirm transaction details on the device screen and check addresses carefully — display discrepancies can indicate a compromised host environment. By following the guide at Trezor.io/Start, users will reduce the risk of mistakes and learn the correct verification flow.
Store your recovery seed physically (paper, metal plate) and keep multiple copies in separate secure locations. Test your recovery process in a safe environment. Never share the seed; no legitimate service will ever request it.
