  • USB-C cable for connectivity
  • Recovery seed card
  • Getting started guide

Connect your Trezor device to your computer using the provided USB cable.

Connection requirements:

  • A computer with internet connection
  • Chrome, Firefox, or Brave browser
  • USB port (USB-C adapter may be needed for older computers)

Once connected, the Trezor screen will light up and display the Trezor logo, indicating it's ready for setup.

Navigate to the official Trezor start page in your web browser to begin the setup process.

Setup environment:

  • Ensure you're in a private, secure location
  • Use a trusted internet connection
