Your secure journey starts here. Follow the steps below to initialize your new device.
Use the **original USB cable** provided in the box to connect your Trézor device to your computer. The device screen should light up and display a welcome message.
TROUBLESHOOTING: If the device doesn't turn on, try a different USB port or ensure the cable is securely fastened.
You need the official Trézor Suite software to manage your device. Download and install it from the **official Trézor website only**. The software will guide you through the initial setup process.
SECURITY CHECK: Always verify the website URL in your browser before downloading.
You will be prompted to choose a **secure PIN**. This PIN will be used to unlock your device every time you want to access your assets. Enter the PIN using the numbered grid on your computer screen, mapping the positions to the scrambled numbers shown on your **Trézor device screen**.
The maximum PIN length is 9 digits, but a longer PIN offers better protection.
This is the **most crucial step**. Your device will generate a 12, 18, or 24-word **Recovery Seed**. Write these words down **in order** on the provided Recovery Seed cards. Store these cards in a secure, private location. **Do not photograph or digitize this seed.**
REMINDER: The Recovery Seed is your master key. If your Trézor is lost or damaged, this seed is the *only* way to recover your funds.
