Q1: Can I skip firmware installation?
Never. Out-of-box firmware lacks critical security patches. Setup forces update.
Q2: How long does setup take?
- Model T: 8-12 minutes
- Safe 3: 6-9 minutes 90% of time should be spent securing recovery cards
Q3: Is Bluetooth setup secure?
Only for Model T ≥ firmware 2.6.1:
- Encrypted BLE channel
- Requires physical confirmation
- Disable post-setup for air-gapped storage
Q4: Lost recovery cards mid-setup?
Abort immediately:
- Disconnect device
- Factory reset (recovery mode)
- Restart at trezor.io/start®
Q5: Can I use without Suite?
Yes, but not recommended:
- Use Bridge + wallet.trezor.io (legacy)
- Third-party wallets like Electrum Suite provides firmware updates/staking
Q6: "Device not detected" error?
- Try different USB port/cable
- Disable VPN/firewall
- Use Chrome/Brave if on Linux
- Contact support with error logs
