Step 1: Unbox Your Device Carefully

Ensure the package’s seal is intact. Trezor packages come with a tamper-proof holographic seal — this protects you from receiving a compromised device.

Use the supplied USB cable to connect the Trezor device to your computer or laptop. Avoid public or unknown computers for security.
