Trezor® Hardware Wallet - Quick Start & Login Guide

---

I. Quick Start Setup

This section covers the initial physical setup and connection of your new Trezor device.

1. Unbox and Verify

• Unbox: Carefully remove your Trezor device from its packaging.
• Security Check: Check the physical integrity of the packaging. Trezor devices are sold with a **security hologram** seal. Ensure the seal is intact and shows no signs of tampering. **Do not use the device** if the seal is broken or looks suspicious.

2. Connect Your Trezor

• Connect the Trezor device to your computer using the supplied **USB cable**.
• The device will typically show a welcome message, such as go to trezor.io/start.

3. Install Trezor Suite

The recommended way to manage your Trezor is using the **Trezor Suite** application.

1. Download: Open your browser and navigate to the official Trezor website (usually trezor.io/suite).
2. Install: Download and install the application for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).

4. Create a New Wallet (Initial Setup)

Once the Trezor Suite is open and your device is connected, follow these steps:

1. Click "Create New Wallet" or follow the on-screen prompts for a new device.
2. The Suite will prompt you to install the latest firmware on your Trezor device. This is mandatory for security and functionality. Confirm the installation on the Trezor device screen.
3. Choose a PIN (Personal Identification Number). You will enter the PIN using your computer's mouse to click on the keypad layout shown on the Trezor Suite, matching the randomized positions displayed on your Trezor's screen. The PIN is never shown on your computer screen.
4. Crucially, the Trezor will now display your Recovery Seed (usually 12 or 24 words).
   WARNING: Write down the words exactly as they appear, in the correct order, on the provided recovery card. Never take a photo of your seed, store it digitally, or share it with anyone. This seed is the only way to restore your wallet.
5. Confirm your seed by entering a few selected words when prompted.
6. Name Your Device: Give your Trezor a memorable name.
7. Your wallet is now set up and ready to use.

II. Login and Access Guide

To use your wallet after the initial setup, you only need your device, your PIN, and the Trezor Suite.

1. Open Trezor Suite

• Launch the Trezor Suite application on your computer.

2. Connect Your Trezor

• Connect your Trezor device to your computer via USB.

3. Unlock Your Wallet

1. The Trezor Suite will prompt you to **Enter PIN**.
2. Look at the **randomized numbers** displayed on your **Trezor device's screen**.
3. Click the corresponding buttons on the **Trezor Suite's numerical keypad** to enter your PIN.
4. Once the PIN is entered correctly, your wallet accounts will load.

4. Understanding Passphrase (Advanced Security)

The Passphrase (sometimes called a "Hidden Wallet") is an optional feature that adds a significant layer of security.

• How it works: When you log in, you will be asked if you want to use a passphrase. If you enter one, a *completely separate and new* wallet is opened.
• Crucial Note: The passphrase is **never** backed up by your 12/24-word Recovery Seed. If you forget your passphrase, any funds in that "hidden wallet" are **permanently lost**.
