Your 3 Critical Setup Steps

1. 🔌

Connect Device & Install Suite

Connect your **Trezor** to your computer. You will be prompted to download and install the official **Trezor Suite** desktop application. Always verify the download source is genuine. This is your interface for the **Wallet Setup**. 🖥️

2. 🔢

Install Firmware & Choose PIN

The Suite will guide you through installing the essential **firmware**. Next, set a strong **PIN** by clicking the scrambled numbers on your screen based on the pattern displayed on your physical device. Never share this PIN! 🚫

3. ✍️

Backup Your Recovery Seed

This is the key to everything. Write down your **Recovery Seed** (Master Key) on the supplied cards in the exact order. Store the paper backup in a highly secure, private location. This Seed is the *only* way to recover your wallet if your device is lost. 🔑

Wallet Security: Why Trezor is Different

Unlike wallets that rely on passwords or cloud storage, your **Trezor Wallet Setup** ensures your private keys never touch the internet. Your device acts as an isolated, secure environment. When you use your wallet, the keys stay inside the **Trezor** device; the device simply signs the transaction and sends it to the Suite. 🛡️

The Power of Offline Keys

The setup process is designed to prevent all common online threats, including keyloggers and phishing attempts. By physically confirming transactions on the device itself, you ensure that even if your computer is compromised, your funds remain safe. Remember: **never** enter your **Recovery Seed** into any software, website, or digital photo. The Seed is the **physical** backup. ✅

Completion and Next Steps

Once the **Trezor Wallet Setup** is complete, you are ready to send crypto to your new addresses. Use the **Trezor Suite** for secure management, including buying, selling, and swapping. Always keep your firmware updated via the Suite for the best protection. Welcome to the world of secure self-custody! 🙏
