When you receive your Trezor device, you'll find it securely packaged with everything you need to get started. The package typically includes:

  • Trezor hardware wallet

  • Recovery seed cards

  • User manual

Before proceeding, make sure that the package is intact and that there are no signs of tampering. This is crucial to ensure that your device has not been compromised during shipping.

Step 2: Connecting Your Trezor to Your Computer

To begin the setup process, connect your Trezor device to your computer using the provided USB cable. Once connected, your computer should recognize the device and prompt you to visit Trezor.io/start.
