Getting started with TREZOR Model T

FAQ at the end of this guide.

Congratulations and welcome to TREZOR Model T! In your hand, you are now holding the next-generation hardware wallet, designed and developed by SatoshiLabs. We are sure you want to start using your device as soon as possible, so let’s have a quick but thorough walkthrough of the setup process and basic functionalities of your new secure wallet.

Main differences between TREZOR One and Model T If you have formerly used a TREZOR One before, there are some differences you will need to get used to. The Model T uses a touchscreen, relinquishing the need for physical buttons. There are more differences, which we will address as we go through the onboarding process.

What is in the package?

The TREZOR Model T comes in a completely redesigned packaging, reflecting the fresh nature of the device. Slide away the white sleeve to get closer to your new hardware wallet.

The black case is held together by glue and a magnet. To get to your TREZOR, flip away the fold on the lower part of the case, and lift up the cover. The Model T is within your reach now!

The TREZOR Model T is attached to the box thanks to embedded magnets. Now, feel free to take the device from its dock.

The magnet is perfectly safe and will not harm or damage the device itself, or any of its accessories.

Please don’t forget to verify the device’s seal; it should be intact. The hologram should sit tightly over the USB-C port of the TREZOR. If it has been removed, it will leave marks on the device. In such a case, please contact our Support Team.

The USB-C cable and other items can be found in the black box next to your device. Lift up the accessories box from the encasement and open it. Apart from the cable, you will find the Getting started guide and two recovery seed cards. Of course, stickers are also included.

But that’s not all! See the black piece of plastic that was under your TREZOR Model T? It has a second purpose: it is a magnetic dock for your new device. Using the 3M double-sided tape on its backside, you can stick it to any firm surface. Attach your Model T to it, and you can see the screen with ease.

Note: The 3M tape is very strong and cannot be peeled off easily.
