Troubleshooting Hub
Device Not Detected
Ensure your Trezor device is properly connected via USB-C. Try using a different cable or a different port on your computer. Restart your Trezor Suite application and check the device status.
Setup Stuck on PIN
If you're unable to enter your PIN, you can reset it via the recovery seed. This process will erase all existing data, so ensure you have a secure backup of your recovery phrase before proceeding.
Recovery Seed Error
Double-check that your recovery seed is entered exactly as shown on the device. Trezor is case-sensitive and requires no spaces. If the error persists, verify the seed was written correctly.
Device Locked or Offline
Check if your Trezor device is in a locked state or if it's offline. Ensure your device is powered on and connected to a stable power source. A low battery or USB disconnection can cause these issues.
Common Questions
How do I prepare my Trezor device for setup?
Ensure your Trezor device is fully charged and connected to a stable Wi-Fi network before beginning the initialization process.
What is the purpose of the recovery seed?
The recovery seed is a set of 12 or 24 words that serves as the primary backup for your wallet. It is critical to store it in a secure, offline location.
How do I set up my PIN on the Trezor device?
During the setup wizard, you will be prompted to enter a 6-digit PIN. This PIN is required to unlock your device and access your funds.

If you lose your recovery seed, you will not be able to recover your wallet. Always write it down and store it in a secure, physical location.
