Welcome to the world of "Self-Custody," a top-tier experience. Your choice of Trezor Safe 5 shows that you value both security and user experience. This model comes with a vibrant color touchscreen and haptic feedback, making setup as easy as using a smartphone.

This guide will break down the steps into an easy-to-understand format and walk you through each one.

Checklist: What to Prepare Before You Start

Before plugging in the USB cable, clear your desk and have these items ready:

  • Trezor Safe 5: If you just bought a new one, check the external condition of the box. There should be no signs of tampering, and importantly, the "security seal" closing the box lid must be intact and unbroken.

Caution: If you find any irregularities or if the seal has been opened before, do not use it under any circumstances. Contact the distributor or Bitcast immediately.

  • USB-C Cable: Included in the box.
  • Paper or Word Card: The sturdy paper card for writing down words, included in the box.
  • Pen: Have one ready to write down your Recovery Seed.
  • Computer or Smartphone (Important!)
  • Compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, or Android smartphones.
  • Note: iOS (iPhone/iPad) does not currently support direct cable connection.
  • Free Time: Approximately 15 minutes, allowing you to focus completely.

Getting Started (Step-by-Step)

Step 1 (Download and Install Trezor Suite)

Security starts here. You must only use official websites or applications.

    Access the Official Website

  • Open your web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.) on your computer or laptop.
  • Type the URL: trezor.io/start into the address bar at the top and press Enter.
  • Caution: Do NOT search for "Trezor Suite" in Google Search and click on the top advertisement (Ad) link, as it could be a fake website (Phishing) created by hackers.

    Choose Your Usage Method

  • Option 1 "Download for desktop" (Highly recommended): This involves downloading the program to install on your machine. This method is the most stable and secure, as it reduces the risk of accessing a wrong website in subsequent uses.
  • Option 2 "Continue in browser": This allows you to use it via the website without installation (suitable for use on a non-personal computer or in emergencies).
