Unboxing and Initial Setup

Unboxing Your Device

Setting a Strong PIN

Choose a unique PIN code for your device. Avoid predictable patterns. This adds an extra layer of security against unauthorized access.

Passphrase Protection

Enable passphrase protection for advanced security. This ensures even if someone has your device, they cannot access your funds without the passphrase.

Using Your Trezor

Sending Cryptocurrency

Select the cryptocurrency you wish to send, input the recipient address, verify carefully, and confirm on the device. This step prevents phishing attacks.

Third-Party Integrations

Connect Trezor with trusted third-party wallets and DeFi platforms safely. Avoid unverified applications to prevent hacks.

Safe Storage of Recovery Seed
