Upon receiving your TréZor device, check the packaging for tamper evidence. Ensure the seal is intact and the box shows no signs of interference. This ensures that the device has not been compromised before first use.
Use the USB cable included with your device to connect it to your computer. TréZor works with multiple operating systems including Windows, macOS, and Linux. Once connected, follow the on-screen instructions to initialize the device.
Download the official TréZor Suite application from TréZor.io/Start. The software is necessary to manage your wallets, send and receive cryptocurrency, and update your device firmware. Follow the installation guide for your operating system carefully.
Create a strong PIN code for device access. Avoid easily guessable numbers like birthdays or sequential patterns. Each incorrect attempt will increase the delay, enhancing security against brute force attacks.
TréZor provides a recovery seed — a series of 12 to 24 words. This seed is crucial for restoring access to your wallet if your device is lost or damaged. Write down your recovery words carefully and store them in a secure, offline location.
Always keep your TréZor firmware updated. Firmware updates include important security patches and improvements. Use the TréZor Suite to check for and install updates whenever prompted.
