Introduction — Why use a Trezor?

Trezor is a hardware wallet that stores your cryptocurrency keys offline. This presentation shows practical steps to unbox, secure, and use your device. It emphasizes security-first choices, clear step-by-step actions, and trustworthy links to official resources.

What you need before you begin

• A genuine Trezor device (Model One or Model Model T)
• A computer with a modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Brave)
• A secure, private space to write your recovery seed
• Time: about 15–25 minutes for initial setup

Step-by-step setup (high level)

1. Unbox and inspect

Verify tamper-evidence. Check seals and packaging. If anything looks altered, stop and contact official support.

2. Visit the official start page

Go directly to the official start page to avoid phishing: use the official links in the resources panel.

3. Initialize device

Follow on-screen instructions to create a new wallet or restore from a recovery phrase. Choose a secure PIN and write the recovery seed on paper — do not store it digitally.

4. Install firmware & connect wallet

Use official tools to update firmware and then access your wallet via the official web wallet interface.

Security best practices

• Never share your recovery seed or PIN with anyone.
• Keep your seed physically separated from your device.
• Use passphrase support only if you understand its implications.
• Verify transaction details on the device screen before confirming.

Common gotchas

Phishing

Only use official domains. Bookmark the official start page and consult the official Support if in doubt.

Backups

Store at least two secure physical copies of your seed in different locations — consider a fireproof safe or bank deposit box for long-term storage.
