How to Start Up Your Trezor Device
1. Visit Trezor.io/Start
Go to the official setup page in your browser.

Download it for your operating system:
- Windows
- macOS
- Linux
Open Trezor Suite and follow the on-screen instructions.
3. Connect Your Trezor Device
Use the included USB cable to connect your Trezor to your computer.
Trezor Suite will detect your device and check whether it needs a firmware update.
If prompted, update firmware by confirming the action directly on your Trezor screen.
4. Create a New Wallet
If this is your first time setting up:

- Write it down on the card provided in your Trezor box.
- Confirm the words in the correct order on your device.
Important:
Never store your recovery seed online or on any digital device.
Never share it with anyone—Trezor will never ask for it.
5. Recover an Existing Wallet
If you already have a recovery seed:
- Select “Recover wallet”
- Enter your recovery words on your Trezor device (not on the computer)
