🛠️ Trezor Bridge & Device Setup Guide

The Trezor Bridge is a small, essential application that allows your computer's operating system to communicate effectively with your Trezor hardware wallet via the USB connection, enabling the Trezor Suite to work seamlessly.

• Download: Go to the official Trezor website or Trezor Suite and download the Bridge installer for your OS (Windows, macOS, Linux).
• Install: Run the downloaded file and follow the simple on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

• Inspect: Unbox your device and confirm the anti-tampering seals on the packaging are intact before proceeding.
• Plug In: Use the manufacturer-provided USB cable to connect your Trezor to your computer. The device screen will activate.

• Launch: Open the Trezor Suite application (desktop or web version). It should detect the connected device.
• Firmware: If prompted, select "Install latest firmware."

  ⚠️ **SECURITY ALERT:** Always verify the firmware fingerprint on your computer screen **matches exactly** the one displayed on your Trezor device before confirming the installation.

• New Wallet: Choose the "Create New Wallet" option and follow the prompts for a Standard Backup.
• View Seed: Your device will display your 12, 18, or 24-word **Recovery Seed**.
• Backup: **Write down the seed words** on your physical recovery card. Check them twice for accuracy.

🔒 **MANDATORY SECURITY:** Your Recovery Seed is the **only way** to restore your funds. Keep it private, offline, and secure. **NEVER** save it digitally.

• Set PIN: Follow the on-screen instructions to set a strong PIN. You will enter the PIN by clicking on the random grid positions shown on your computer screen, but observing the numbers displayed on your Trezor device.
• Name: Give your device a unique, memorable name for easy identification within the Trezor Suite.
• Complete: Your device is now initialized and ready for secure use.
