1. Inside the Box: When you unbox your Trezor device, you should find:
Trezor hardware wallet

Instructions and stickers
2. Inspect Your Device: Ensure that the packaging is intact and there are no signs of tampering. This ensures your device's security.
1. Visit Trezor.io/Start: Open your web browser and go to Trezor.io/Start. This page will guide you through the setup process.
2. Download Trezor Bridge: To communicate with your Trezor device, download and install Trezor Bridge, a software that allows your browser to interact with the Trezor wallet.
3. Connect Your Device: Use the USB cable to connect your Trezor device to your computer.
1. Open Trezor Wallet: After connecting your Trezor, open the Trezor Wallet interface in your browser. You may need to allow the Trezor Bridge to run.
