Welcome to the official Trèzōr Hardware Wallet getting started guide! Whether you're new to cryptocurrency or a seasoned trader, securing your digital assets is crucial. Trèzōr, developed by SatoshiLabs, is one of the most trusted hardware wallets in the crypto space.

This guide will walk you through: ✔ Unboxing & Initial Setup ✔ Connecting to Trèzōr Suite ✔ Creating & Recovering a Wallet ✔ Sending & Receiving Crypto ✔ Security Best Practices

Let’s dive in!

1. Unboxing Your Trèzōr Wallet

Your Trèzōr device (Model T or One) comes with:

• Hardware Wallet (USB-C/Micro-USB)
• USB Cable
• Recovery Seed Cards (for backup)
• Lanyard & Stickers (optional)
• Getting Started Guide

🔹 Verify Authenticity: Check the holographic seal on the box to ensure it hasn’t been tampered with.

2. Setting Up Your Trèzōr Wallet

Step 1: Connect to a Computer

• Plug your Trèzōr into a trusted computer (avoid public devices).
• Visit trezor.io/start to download Trèzōr Suite (desktop/web app).

Step 2: Install Firmware

• If prompted, update to the latest firmware for security enhancements.

Step 3: Create a New Wallet

• Choose "Create New Wallet".
• Your device will generate a 24-word recovery seed (write it down manually on the provided card). ⚠️ Never store it digitally (no photos, cloud, or email).

Step 4: Set a PIN

• Pick a 4-9 digit PIN for device access.
• If entered incorrectly too many times, the wallet wipes itself to prevent theft.

Step 5: Name Your Device

• Personalize your Trèzōr (e.g., "My Crypto Vault").

3. Using Trèzōr Suite

Trèzōr Suite is your secure dashboard for managing crypto.

Key Features:

✅ Portfolio Tracking – View balances across blockchains. ✅ Send/Receive Crypto – Securely transact with your hardware wallet. ✅ Exchange Integration – Swap coins directly in the app. ✅ Coin Control – Manage UTXOs (for Bitcoin privacy).

4. Receiving Cryptocurrency

1. Open Trèzōr Suite → Select "Receive".
2. Choose a coin (BTC, ETH, etc.).
3. Verify the address on your Trèzōr screen (prevents malware attacks).
4. Share the address with the sender (QR code or copy-paste).

🔹 Always confirm addresses on the device!

5. Sending Cryptocurrency

1. Open Trèzōr Suite → Select "Send".
2. Enter recipient address (double-check for errors).
3. Input amount & select fee (higher fees = faster transactions).
4. Confirm details on your Trèzōr screen before approving.

6. Recovering a Wallet (If Lost/Reset)

If you lose your Trèzōr, use your 24-word seed to restore funds:

1. Connect a new Trèzōr → Select "Recover Wallet".
2. Enter your seed phrase (in exact order).
3. Set a new PIN (optional but recommended).
4. Access restored funds in Trèzōr Suite.

⚠️ Only enter your seed on a hardware wallet—never online!

7. Advanced Security Features

🔐 Passphrase (25th Word)

• Adds an extra security layer (acts as a "hidden wallet").
• Without it, even a thief with your seed can’t access funds.

🛡️ Shamir Backup (Model T Only)

• Splits your seed into multiple shares (e.g., 3-of-5).
• Requires only a subset to recover funds.

🔄 U2F & Password Manager

• Use Trèzōr as a 2FA device for Google, GitHub, etc.
• Securely store passwords in the encrypted vault.

8. Best Practices for Maximum Security

✔ Never share your seed or PIN. ✔ Buy only from trezor.io (avoid third-party sellers). ✔ Enable firmware auto-updates. ✔ Use a strong passphrase for hidden wallets. ✔ Store seed offline (metal backup recommended).
