Introduction

This presentation walks you through powering up and securely configuring your Trezor hardware wallet. It covers the essential steps — unpacking, installing firmware, creating a backup, choosing a PIN, and best security practices to keep your crypto safe. Use this as a guide while you follow the official Trezor onboarding flow.

Slide 1 — Before you begin

Unbox only in a secure, private place. Verify the packaging for tamper-evidence. Have a pen and trustworthy paper ready for writing down your recovery seed — never store the seed digitally.

Slide 2 — Install Trezor Suite

For the best experience, download and install Trezor Suite or open the official web app. Connect your device with the provided cable and follow the guided setup. Suite helps you install firmware, create accounts, and manage assets securely.

Slide 3 — Firmware & device check

New Trezor devices typically require firmware installation. Follow on-screen prompts and accept only official firmware updates in Trezor Suite. If anything looks off, stop and contact official support.

Slide 4 — Create your backup (recovery seed)

When prompted, write down the recovery seed exactly in order. This seed is the single most important item — it is the only way to recover funds if the device is lost or damaged. Keep the seed offline, stored in a secure place (preferably multiple physical copies in different locations).

Slide 5 — Set a PIN & passphrase

Create a PIN for daily device unlock. Consider using the optional passphrase feature for an extra layer of protection — but remember: passphrases must be stored safely just like your seed.

Slide 6 — Verify addresses on device

Always verify receive addresses directly on the Trezor screen before sending funds. On-device confirmation prevents many remote attacks.

Slide 7 — Update & maintain

Keep Trezor firmware and Trezor Suite app updated. Read changelogs before major updates and always use official app and firmware sources.

Slide 8 — Move your coins safely

After setup, transfer small test amounts before moving large balances. Confirm transactions on-device. Use the suite to monitor your transaction history and portfolio.

Slide 9 — If something goes wrong

If you see signs of tampering, missing firmware prompts, or suspicious UI messages, disconnect and contact Trezor support immediately. Do not share your recovery seed or PIN with anyone claiming to be support.

Slide 10 — Final tips
  • Never type your seed into a phone or computer.
  • Consider a metal seed backup for durability.
  • Use official channels for downloads and support.
