Introduction to Trezor Suite
Trezor Suite is the official software companion for your Trezor hardware wallet. It provides a secure interface to manage your cryptocurrencies, check balances, send and receive coins, and monitor your transactions. With Trezor Suite, you retain full control of your private keys, while benefiting from user-friendly features and advanced security.

Unboxing and Device Verification
When you receive your Trezor device, verify that the package is sealed and untouched. Inside, you should find the Trezor hardware wallet, a USB cable, instruction cards, and recovery seed cards. Trezor devices include anti-tampering features to ensure authenticity.
Important Security Notice
Never use a device that appears pre-owned, damaged, or modified in any way. If you suspect any tampering, contact Trezor support before proceeding.
Installing Trezor Suite
Trezor Suite is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, and even as a web application. Download it exclusively from the official Trezor website to ensure authenticity. Once installed, Trezor Suite will guide you through connecting your device, installing firmware updates, and configuring accounts.

Initializing Your Device
Connect your Trezor device using the supplied USB cable. The screen will offer options to create a new wallet or recover an existing one. If setting up as new, the device will generate a unique recovery seed. This step is crucial: your recovery seed is the only backup for your wallet and must be stored safely offline. Never share it or store it digitally. Use the recovery seed cards included to write the 24-word phrase legibly and securely.
Creating a PIN
A PIN code protects your device from unauthorized physical access. Choose a PIN that is complex and not connected to personal information. The PIN is entered directly on the Trezor device, never on your computer, ensuring that it cannot be intercepted. If the PIN is entered incorrectly multiple times, the device will lock and require the recovery seed to regain access. This feature adds an extra layer of protection to your wallet.
Setting Up Your Recovery Seed
The 24-word recovery seed generated by Trezor is your ultimate backup. Anyone with access to these words can restore your wallet and control your funds, making it vital to store them securely.
Critical Security Warning
Avoid digital copies, photos, or cloud storage. Consider using fireproof and waterproof storage for added safety.
Best Security Practices
Beyond device setup, Trezor recommends several best practices to maintain security:
Keep your recovery seed offline at all times
Use strong, unique PIN codes for every device
Regularly update Trezor Suite and firmware
Verify addresses and transactions on the device screen
Be cautious with emails, links, and downloads related to crypto
Consider storing your device in a secure location when not in use
Conclusion
Setting up Trezor Suite correctly is the first step toward fully controlling your cryptocurrencies. By following this guide—verifying your device, creating a secure PIN, safeguarding your recovery seed, installing apps, and learning safe practices—you can enjoy the benefits of digital assets with confidence.
