⚠️ **Crucial Warning:** Only use the official Trezor website for software downloads and support. Never share your Recovery Seed with anyone, not even Trezor support staff.

The Six Essential Steps to Setup

1. Unbox & Connect to Trezor Suite

Carefully check the packaging for any signs of tampering. Connect your Trezor device to your computer using the supplied USB cable. Navigate to **trezor.io/suite** to download and install the official Trezor Suite application. This is the primary interface for managing your wallet. **(EXPAND THIS CONTENT TO ~200-250 WORDS)**

2. Install/Update Firmware

Trezor Suite will prompt you to install or update the device's firmware. This is essential for security. Always verify that the firmware signature displayed on your computer screen matches the one on your Trezor device. This process takes a few minutes. **(EXPAND THIS CONTENT TO ~200-250 WORDS)**

3. The Critical Step: Recovery Seed

The Recovery Seed (usually 12 or 24 words) is your master backup. Write it down **physically** on the provided recovery cards. **NEVER** take a picture, store it digitally, or type it on a computer. Double-check your writing and store the physical copies in secure, separate locations (e.g., a safe and a bank vault). **(EXPAND THIS CONTENT TO ~300-350 WORDS)**

4. Setup PIN and Device Name

You will set a PIN using the screen on the Trezor device. The PIN is necessary to unlock your device for daily use. Choose a strong PIN (6-9 digits). You can also give your device a friendly name for easy identification in the Trezor Suite. **(EXPAND THIS CONTENT TO ~200-250 WORDS)**

5. Activate Passphrase (Optional but Recommended)

The Passphrase is a powerful, optional layer of security. It's a phrase you remember, not stored on the device, that creates a hidden wallet. If your Recovery Seed is compromised, the passphrase protects your funds. **Warning:** If you forget your passphrase, your funds are lost forever. **(EXPAND THIS CONTENT TO ~200-250 WORDS)**

6. Make a Small Test Transaction

Before transferring a large sum, send a very small amount of cryptocurrency to your new Trezor wallet address. Once the transaction confirms, wipe your Trezor (if you feel comfortable doing so) and attempt to recover it using your Recovery Seed and PIN. This confirms your backup is perfect. **(EXPAND THIS CONTENT TO ~200-250 WORDS)**
