Step 4: Connect Your Trezor Device
Connect your Trezor device to your computer using the provided USB cable. Ensure that the device is properly connected and powered on.
Step 5: Install Firmware
Upon connecting your device for the first time, you may be prompted to install the latest firmware. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete this process. Installing the latest firmware ensures that your device has the most recent security updates and features.
Step 6: Create a New Wallet or Recover an Existing One
Once the firmware is installed, you will have the option to create a new wallet or recover an existing one using your recovery seed. If creating a new wallet, carefully write down the 24-word recovery seed provided by the device. This seed is crucial for recovering your wallet if the device is lost or damaged.
