Slide 2 • What is a Hardware Wallet? 2 / 10

What is a hardware wallet?

Cold storage you can hold in your hand

A hardware wallet is a small dedicated device that stores the private keys for your cryptocurrency offline. It signs transactions internally so the keys never leave the device. This drastically reduces the risk of theft from malware, phishing and remote attackers.

Slide 3 • Unboxing & First Steps 3 / 10

Unboxing & initial setup

What you should see in the package

When you open a new Trezor, check that the package is sealed and intact. Inside you’ll typically find the Trezor device, a USB cable, recovery seed cards, and quick-start guides. If anything looks tampered with, stop and contact support.

Step-by-step

  1. Go to trezor.io/start and follow the official onboarding instructions.
  2. Connect the device to your computer and follow prompts on-screen.
  3. Create a new wallet and choose a strong PIN you’ll remember.
Slide 4 • PIN & Passphrase 4 / 10

PIN and Passphrase

Two layers of protection

The PIN protects access to the device itself. The passphrase is an optional extra word (or phrase) that effectively creates a hidden wallet — a powerful defense but one that must be managed carefully.

Slide 5 • Recovery Seed 5 / 10

Recovery seed — your lifeline

What is a seed phrase?

The recovery seed (usually 12, 18, or 24 words) allows you to restore your wallet and funds if the device is lost or damaged. Treat it like the keys to a vault — physical, durable, and highly private.

How to store it

Slide 6 • Connecting to Wallets 6 / 10

Connect Trezor to a wallet

Desktop and web wallets

Trezor works with the official Trezor Suite app as well as third-party wallets. Always open the wallet software from the official source and verify URLs. When making transactions, confirm details on the device’s screen before approving.

Steps to send crypto

  1. Open Trezor Suite or a supported wallet.
  2. Choose the asset and enter the destination address.
  3. Verify the details on your Trezor device and physically approve the transaction.
Slide 7 • Security Tips 7 / 10

Everyday security

Simple habits that matter

Security is as much about habits as it is about tools. Keep firmware up to date, avoid unknown USB cables, never enter your seed anywhere, and be suspicious of unsolicited messages asking for access.
