Setting up a Trezor device is simple but must be done carefully to maintain security:

Open a secure browser and go to https://trezor.io/start to launch the setup wizard.
Follow prompts to install Trezor Bridge for secure communication between your device and the computer.
Choose to create a new wallet or recover an existing one. Write down your recovery seed phrase carefully.
Protect your device with a PIN code that you will enter each time you connect the wallet.
