Trezor Model T Manual
Setting up your Trezor model T
Step 1: Install Trezor Bridge
On your computer, launch a web browser (Google Chrome or Firefox) and go to trezor.io/start . Select the Trezor T by clicking on it. The website may then ask you to confirm whether the seal is still on the Trezor. If so, click 'Continue'. If not, please contact our support team.
Now you can install Trezor Bridge. This software helps your computer communicate with the Trezor. Select your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux) and click "Download the latest Bridge." Open the downloaded file and run through the installation process. Once the process is complete, Trezor Bridge will automatically start working in the background.
Step 2: Connect
Connect the Trezor T to a computer using the included USB cable. Sometimes connecting the cable to the Trezor may require a bit of force. Once the Trezor is connected, the display will automatically turn on. Now, in your browser, go to wallet.trezor.io .
Step 3: Install firmware
Next, the correct firmware needs to be updated. This can be done simply by clicking the 'Install Firmware' button.
This may take a moment. You'll then be prompted to unplug the Trezor. Unplug the cable, wait a few seconds, and then plug it back in.
Step 4: Create a wallet
Now you can create a new wallet. Click the "Create new" button.
Your Trezor will now ask for confirmation. Press the green check mark on the touchscreen.
Step 5: Create a backup
A backup is very important. We recommend never transferring coins to the device before creating a backup. A backup is a one-time thing and should be kept in a safe place. It will provide you with access to your coins even if the device breaks.
On your computer, click "Create a backup in 3 minutes." Once you've read the instructions, confirm that you understand how to save the backup. Click "Continue." Then confirm on your Trezor by clicking "I understand."
Your Trezor will now display 12 words. Write them down correctly and in the correct order on the provided piece of paper. Then press and hold the green button to confirm.
The Trezor will now ask you to re-enter two words to check if they are written correctly.
Step 6: Choose a PIN code
Once you've written the two words correctly, return to your computer screen. Press "Continue."
Your Trezor will now ask you if you want to set a PIN. Press the green check mark. You can now choose a PIN to log in to the device by entering it twice in succession.
Step 7: Name the device
Return to your computer screen and tap "Continue" twice. Enter a name for your device and tap "Confirm to continue."
Also press the green check mark on the Trezor to confirm your name
Step 8: Set Bookmark
To prevent accidentally landing on a fake website, you can save this website to your bookmarks. You can do this by pressing Ctrl + D. Congratulations! Your Trezor T is now ready to use!
