1) Before you start
Unbox your Trezor hardware and check the packaging and authenticity information. Make sure you have a computer with a modern browser (or the desktop app), a stable internet connection, and a secure place to write down your recovery seed. Trezor stresses that downloads and updates should be from the official Trezor site or their GitHub releases. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
2) Install Trezor Suite
- Visit the official Trezor Suite page and download the version for your OS (Windows/Mac/Linux) or use the web app. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
- Run the installer (desktop) or open the web client. Connect your device with the provided USB cable.
- The Suite will guide you to initialize the device, set a PIN, and create a recovery seed. Write the seed down physically and store it offline — never store the seed on cloud-syncing notes or photos.
3) First checks and security
Verify firmware prompts on the device screen, confirm addresses on-device before sending funds, and enable passphrase protection if you require extra privacy. Trezor’s documentation includes step-by-step verification processes and strongly recommends always using official downloads. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
4) Everyday use
Use the Trezor Suite to manage coins, view balances, and review transaction history. The Suite supports many coins and provides portfolio tracking. Keep Suite and your device firmware updated; updates often include security and compatibility improvements. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
5) Troubleshooting & tips
- If the device is not recognized, try a different USB cable/port and ensure you've installed required drivers (desktop only).
- For recovery or advanced help, consult Trezor’s official guides and support pages before relying on third-party assistance. Back up your recovery seed carefully.
- Consider using a separate, dedicated computer for high-value operations if you need additional security precautions.
