Getting Started: Step-by-Step Guide

1. Unboxing Your Trézor Device

Every Trézor device comes in a secure, tamper-evident package. When unboxing:

• Ensure the seal is intact.
• Check that the device, USB cable, and recovery card are included.

3. Initializing Your Device

Upon first startup:

• Choose between creating a new wallet or recovering an existing wallet.
