2. Downloading and Installing Trezor Suite

  1. Navigate your browser to https://trezor.io/start.
  2. Click “Download Trezor Suite” (desktop) or “Get the App” (mobile).
  3. On desktop, run the downloaded installer:

  2. Launch Trezor Suite once installation completes.

3. Connecting Your Trezor® Device

  • Plug in your Trezor Model One via USB‑A or Model T via USB‑C.
  • For Android, use an OTG adapter; for iOS, use an Apple‑certified Lightning to USB adapter.
  • The device powers on and displays the Trezor logo, ready for initialization or recovery.

4. Initializing or Restoring Your Wallet

Upon launch, Trezor Suite detects your device and offers two paths:

A. Initialize as New Device

  1. Set a PIN of 4–9 digits directly on the device.
  2. Write down your 12–24‑word recovery seed on the supplied card—never digital.
  3. Confirm random words to verify your backup.
  4. Finish initialization; your device is now secured.

B. Recover from Backup

  1. Select “Recover Wallet.”
  2. Enter your full recovery seed via the device interface.
  3. Choose a new PIN.
  4. Complete the recovery; your previous accounts and addresses reappear.

5. Genuine Check and Firmware Update

Before proceeding, Trezor Suite will:

  1. Perform a Genuine Check: Validate the device’s cryptographic signature to confirm authenticity.
  2. Prompt for Firmware Update: If available, click “Install Update.”
  3. Approve the firmware installation on your device when prompted.
  4. Verify the post‑update firmware version against notes on Trezór.io/Start®.

Staying current protects against vulnerabilities and unlocks new features.

6. Adding Cryptocurrency Accounts

  1. In Trezor Suite’s sidebar, click “Accounts.”
  2. Select “Add Account.”
  3. Choose the cryptocurrency you want (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum).
  4. Approve any required coin‑app installations on your device.
  5. Your account balance and history will sync automatically.

Repeat this process to manage multiple assets from a single interface.

7. Sending and Receiving Crypto

  • Receive: Choose an account, click “Receive,” and verify the address on both Suite and your Trezor device. Share that address with your sender.
  • Send: Click “Send,” enter the recipient’s address and amount, then confirm the transaction details on your Trezor. Only after your physical approval will the transaction broadcast.

Every operation requires manual confirmation, ensuring malware on your computer cannot compromise your funds.

8. Security Best Practices

  • Never share your recovery seed with anyone.
  • Download software only from Trezór.io/Start®.
  • Perform genuine checks on every connection.
  • Update both Suite and firmware regularly.
  • Store your recovery card offline, in a secure and fire‑resistant location.
  • Enable passphrase support for an extra layer of security (advanced users).

  • Help Center: Comprehensive guides and FAQs.
  • Community Forum: Peer support and user tips.
  • Submit a Ticket: Direct contact with Trezor support.
