4. Setup Guide

To begin using your Trezor Model One, follow these steps for initial setup:

1. Connect the Device: Connect your Trezor Model One to your computer using the provided USB cable.
2. Install Trezor Suite: Navigate to suite.trezor.io in your web browser. Follow the on-screen instructions to download and install the Trezor Suite application. This application is essential for managing your device and cryptocurrencies.
3. Firmware Installation: The Trezor Suite will guide you through the process of installing the latest firmware on your device. This is a critical security step.
4. Create New Wallet or Recover:
   • Create New Wallet: If this is your first time using a hardware wallet, select the option to create a new wallet. You will be prompted to create a PIN and write down your recovery seed. Store your recovery seed in a secure, offline location.
   • Recover Wallet: If you are recovering an existing wallet, follow the instructions to enter your recovery seed.
5. Set a PIN: Establish a strong PIN for your device. This PIN will be required for all transactions and device access.
6. Backup Recovery Seed: The device will display a series of words (your recovery seed). It is imperative to write these words down accurately and in the correct order on the provided recovery sheet. Keep this sheet in a safe, private location, as it is the only way to recover your funds if your Trezor device is lost or damaged. Do not store this digitally.
7. Optional Passphrase: For enhanced security, you may choose to set up a passphrase. This adds an additional layer of protection beyond the recovery seed.
8. Complete Setup: Once these steps are completed, your Trezor Model One is ready for use.
