Trezor Setup Overview

What Is Covered In This Video?

The differences in the location of the control buttons on the Trezor One and Trezor Model T devices.
Trezor One has physical buttons located just below its view screen. The Trezor Model T has a color touchscreen with a red cancel or back button located in the lower left of the screen and a green confirm or continue button in the lower right side of the screen.

For either device’s setup we will follow these steps:
1) Install the Trezor Suite application to our laptop or desktop computer.
This program is used to manage updates to the device's firmware and also acts as a wallet manager for the coins held by the wallet.
2) Connect the Trezor device to the computer and install the device's firmware from the Trezor Suite application.
You should check for updates periodically in order to keep your Trezor device up to date with any wallet changes or improvements.
3) Next, we will record the Mnemonic Backup Phrase onto the recovery sheet in ALL CAPS and in the correct order. Printing the words in ALL CAPS will make it easier to restore a device from the backup sheet, and lead to fewer errors.
4) The next step will be to confirm the mnemonic backup phrase on the device.
It is best practice to laminate the recovery sheet, to protect it from water damage, and to store it in a fire resistant safe to protect it from fire damage and unauthorized access.
5) Next, we will choose a memorable access PIN that is from 4 to 9 digits in length. You want a number that is easy to remember but not easily guessed.
Avoid using phone numbers, birth dates, Social Security numbers, etc.
