Trezor Suite® | Starting Up Your Device | Trezor®

Your quick, clear guide to setting up and securing your Trezor device with Trezor Suite.

Introduction

Welcome! This short presentation walks you through starting up your Trezor device, pairing it with Trezor Suite, and best practices to keep your crypto safe. The steps below are intentionally concise and designed for first-time users and those refreshing their setup knowledge.

What you'll need

Hardware & software

Before you begin, gather your Trezor hardware wallet, a computer or laptop, and a USB cable. Open Trezor Suite on your computer (or visit the web app) to start the onboarding flow.

Official Trezor device (Trezor Model T or Trezor One).
A modern browser and the latest Trezor firmware (Suite will guide firmware install if needed).
Your recovery seed stored offline and physically — never on a computer.

Step 1 — Download & open Trezor Suite

Visit the official Trezor Suite download or web page to ensure you use an authentic release. Always verify you are on an official Trezor domain.

Start page — trezor.io/start Trezor Suite (web app) — suite.trezor.io Official guide — trezor.io/guide Downloads — trezor.io/download

Step 2 — Connect your device

Plug your Trezor into the computer. Trezor Suite will detect the device and guide you through initializing or recovering it. Only proceed if the Suite app shows device prompts that match the screens on your Trezor.

Step 3 — Initialize or recover

Initialize (new device)

Choose to create a new wallet. Trezor will generate a recovery seed — write every word down in the order shown. Keep this physical backup offline.

Recover (existing seed)

If you already have a recovery seed, select the recover option and enter your seed when prompted. Confirm that addresses shown in Suite match expected addresses for your accounts.

Step 4 — Firmware & security checks

Trezor Suite will check the device firmware. If an update is required, follow the official prompts. Do not accept firmware updates from third-party websites. Use only the official firmware channel inside Suite.

Confirm the fingerprint and device messages match what appears on your Trezor screen before approving any transaction.

Store your seed offline in a safe location (metal backup recommended).
Verify every transaction on the Trezor screen before approval.
Only download Suite from official sources and check domain authenticity.
Keep firmware and Suite up to date to benefit from security improvements.
