Welcome to Trezor.io/Start — the official quick-start hub to safely start up your device. This step-by-step guide walks you through powering on your hardware, creating a secure backup, initializing your seed phrase, and connecting to Trezor Suite or compatible web apps. Starting up your Trezor device is the most important security step: do it carefully, verify on-device prompts, and never share recovery words. Trezor.io/Start contains clear instructions and security tips so you can start with confidence.

Step 1 — Unpack and inspect

Verify packaging integrity and serial numbers. Inspect the box seals and device for signs of tampering. Trezor.io/Start emphasizes safety: only proceed if packaging is intact.

Step 2 — Power and firmware

Connect your device to a computer with the official cable. Follow on-device prompts to verify firmware authenticity and update when required. Trezor.io/Start instructs how to check firmware signatures.

Step 3 — Create a recovery seed

Write down your recovery seed on the supplied card; never store it digitally. Trezor.io/Start guides safe recovery procedures and explains why the seed is the only backup to your funds.

Step 4 — Set a PIN and label

Choose a unique PIN to protect local access. Optionally label your device for multi-device setups. Trezor.io/Start shows best practices for PIN management.

Step 5 — Connect to software

Open Trezor Suite or a compatible wallet and follow pairing instructions. Trezor.io/Start lists supported apps and how to confirm addresses on-device before signing.

Security & verification

Security is the core of starting up a Trezor device. Trezor.io/Start details how to verify device authenticity, validate firmware signatures, and confirm transaction data on-screen before approving. Always check the address displayed on the hardware device when sending funds — never approve mismatched addresses. Trezor.io/Start also explains how to use passphrase support and advanced backup options for power users.

Developer & advanced users

If you are a developer, Trezor.io/Start links to SDKs and API docs so you can integrate secure signing into your applications. Use the recommended endpoints and avoid storing sensitive data in code. Follow secure coding practices as described in the developer section.

Privacy & telemetry

Trezor devices and official software minimize telemetry by default. Trezor.io/Start explains privacy settings and how to opt out of non-essential diagnostics while still receiving important security updates.
