Starting Up Your Device
This page is a demonstration website showcasing how long, educational content could be structured for a hardware wallet onboarding experience. It is not affiliated with SatoshiLabs or the official Trezor project. No keys, seed phrases, or personal data are requested anywhere on this page.
Before You Begin
- Use a trusted computer and a private network.
- Never share recovery phrases or PINs.
- Verify URLs carefully when visiting any wallet site.
- Keep your device firmware up to date.

Complete Setup Guide (Long Content)
Setting up a hardware wallet is a critical step in taking control of your digital assets. A secure onboarding experience emphasizes clarity, patience, and verification at every stage. Below is an extended, step‑by‑step walkthrough designed to illustrate how comprehensive documentation can reduce user error and improve confidence.
1. Unboxing & Inspection
Carefully inspect the packaging for signs of tampering. Authentic devices are shipped with intact seals and clear instructions. If anything appears altered or suspicious, stop immediately and contact the seller.
Take time to familiarize yourself with the contents of the box. Understanding what each component does helps prevent mistakes later in the process.
2. Connecting the Device
Connect the device to your computer using the supplied cable. Avoid USB hubs or public computers. A direct connection minimizes risk and ensures reliable communication during initialization.
On first connection, the device typically displays a welcome screen indicating it is ready for setup.
3. Installing Software
Hardware wallets rely on companion software to manage accounts and transactions. Always download software from official, verified sources. Bookmark the correct address to avoid imitation sites.
During installation, read each prompt carefully. Do not rush through security warnings or permissions.
Important Warning
Legitimate setup processes will never ask you to enter your recovery phrase on a website. Any page that requests this information should be treated as malicious.
4. Creating a New Wallet
When creating a new wallet, the device generates cryptographic keys in an isolated environment. This is the core security advantage of hardware wallets. The generated recovery phrase represents full control over your assets and must be handled with extreme care.
Write the recovery phrase down on paper and store it offline in a secure location. Consider multiple backups stored in separate places to protect against loss or damage.
5. Setting a PIN
A strong PIN adds a critical layer of physical security. Choose a PIN that is difficult to guess and avoid reusing codes from other services. The device enforces limits on incorrect attempts, protecting against brute‑force attacks.
Security Best Practices
Long‑term security is not achieved through a single action but through consistent habits. Users should stay informed about common attack vectors such as phishing, malware, and social engineering.
- Always verify addresses on the device screen before confirming transactions.
- Keep your operating system and browser updated.
- Be cautious of unsolicited messages or emails claiming to offer support.
- Consider using a passphrase for advanced protection.
Never Do This
- Never type your recovery phrase into a website or app.
- Never photograph or store recovery words online.
- Never trust urgency or fear‑based messages.
