Setting Up Your Trezor Hardware Wallet

Step 1: Unboxing Your Trezor

When you receive your Trezor wallet, you'll find the following items in the box:

• Trezor device

• USB cable

• Recovery seed card

• Instruction manual

• Trezor stickers

Before proceeding with the setup, ensure that all these items are present and that the device's packaging is intact, indicating it hasn't been tampered with.

Step 2: Connecting Your Trezor

1. Connect to Your Computer: Use the provided USB cable to connect your Trezor device to your computer.

2. Visit the Trezor Website: Open your web browser and navigate to Trezor's official website. This page will guide you through the initial setup process.

3. Install Trezor Bridge: To facilitate communication between your Trezor device and your computer, you'll need to install Trezor Bridge. Follow the on-screen instructions to download and install this software.

Step 3: Initializing Your Trezor

1. Launch Trezor Wallet: Once Trezor Bridge is installed, go back to the Trezor website and click on "Create new wallet."

2. Install Firmware: If this is your first time using the device, you'll need to install the latest firmware. Follow the prompts to download and install the firmware onto your Trezor.

3. Create a New Wallet: After the firmware installation, you'll be prompted to create a new wallet. Confirm this action on your Trezor device.

Step 4: Secure Your Wallet

1. Set Up a PIN: Choose a strong, unique PIN to protect your device. This PIN will be required every time you access your Trezor wallet.

2. Backup Your Recovery Seed: Your recovery seed is a critical component of your wallet's security. It consists of 12 to 24 words that can be used to restore your wallet if your device is lost or damaged. Write down the recovery seed on the provided card and store it in a safe place. Never share this seed with anyone and avoid storing it digitally.

Step 5: Adding Cryptocurrencies

1. Access Your Dashboard: Once your wallet is set up, you'll be directed to your Trezor dashboard. Here, you can manage your cryptocurrencies.

2. Add Coins: To add cryptocurrencies, click on the "Add account" button. Select the desired cryptocurrency from the list of supported assets.

3. Receive Funds: To receive funds, select the cryptocurrency and click on "Receive." You'll be given a unique receiving address to share with the sender. Ensure that the address is correct before confirming any transactions.
