Security Warning

Always download Trezor Suite from the official Trezor website. Do not use any third-party sources, as they may contain malware designed to steal your cryptocurrency.

Initial Device Setup

When you connect your Trezor for the first time, you'll need to go through the initialization process:

Set up a PIN code to protect your device from unauthorized access
Your device will generate a recovery seed - a list of words that can restore your wallet

Critical Importance of Recovery Seed

Your recovery seed is the only way to recover your funds if your Trezor is lost, stolen, or damaged. Write it down on the provided recovery card and store it in a secure location. Never digitize your seed or store it online.

Transferring Your Cryptocurrency

Once your device is set up, you can transfer your cryptocurrency to your Trezor:

In Trezor Suite, select the cryptocurrency you want to receive
Click "Receive" to generate a receiving address
Verify the address on your Trezor device screen
Use this address to transfer funds from your exchange or other wallet

Always verify receiving addresses on your device screen to avoid address manipulation malware.
