This document is designed as a presentation-ready HTML guide for securely starting up your Trezor hardware wallet and linking the operational steps to account access such as the NDAX login environment. It emphasizes safety, practical steps, and clear headings so slides or printouts can be generated from each section.
We cover initial setup, seed phrase handling, firmware and software links, NDAX connectivity considerations, two-factor suggestions, common troubleshooting, and links to Office templates and resources for producing official internal documentation or slide decks.
Hardware wallets provide strong security only when physical integrity and provenance are assured. If packaging looks tampered with, contact the vendor and do not proceed with setup.
Use a trusted device and browser to open the official Trezor onboarding flow at https://trezor.io/start. Follow the guided steps on-screen to initialize the device, install firmware if requested, and install the recommended client application.
Always type the URL directly or use a saved bookmark; avoid search engine links on first run.
When prompted, write down the seed (recovery phrase) on the supplied recovery card or another secure medium. Never store your seed digitally (no photos, cloud storage, or plain text files).
Install firmware only via the official Trezor interface. Verify firmware signatures as prompted. After firmware, set a PIN that is easy for you but hard to guess for others.
Consider an optional passphrase for a hidden wallet if you need an additional security layer. Remember that a passphrase acts as an extension of your seed; losing it equals losing access.
If you are using NDAX (National Digital Asset Exchange) or similar platforms for trading, keep these guidelines in mind:
Keep exchange accounts separate from long-term cold storage. Only move funds to an exchange when you are certain of the purpose — trading, staking, or converting to fiat — and move remaining funds back to hardware cold storage promptly.
If you forget the PIN, the only recovery path is your seed phrase. If your device is lost or damaged, you can restore your wallet on a new Trezor using the seed. If your seed is also lost, funds cannot be recovered.
Use the links below to create internal documentation, slide decks, or printable quick-start guides for your team. Each link opens a resource or template useful for presenting or recording procedures.
Combining strong physical-device hygiene with well-documented internal processes reduces risk. Use the Office templates linked above to produce a single-page quick reference and a slide deck for new users.
