Trezor.io/Start® — Starting Up Your Device ✨🔒

Quick Summary ✨📝

This short summary explains the goal: we want a calm, secure-feeling onboarding page that is visually purple so users feel confident and delighted. Use the Mirror button to flip the entire page horizontally — this demonstrates RTL/mirroring behavior and playful visualization. The Font button toggles the heading font to show unique typography. The Change Style button shifts accent tones and adds extra glow. All interactions are local to this page and do not connect to any external account.

Step 1 — Prepare Your Device 🧰🔋

Before starting up your hardware device, select a clean flat surface, ensure your hands are dry, and set aside a small notepad for your recovery phrase. The following guidance is intentionally verbose so it reads like a calm coach: breathe, take your time, and move at your preferred pace. Expect the whole initial setup to take a few minutes. Keep your recovery phrase offline — never take photos or store it digitally. 🛡️

The golden rule is: your recovery phrase is backup — you are the only one responsible for it. Write it down in a durable place, keep it somewhere safe, and consider a fireproof storage option if that is relevant to you. If you lose the phrase, the funds tied to the device cannot be recovered.

Step 2 — Connect & Initialize 🔌🖥️

Connect your device using the provided cable. When the device powers on, follow its built-in prompts. If you see a prompt to install an update, ensure the update originates from the official source and that you are on a trusted machine. For this demo, the text demonstrates the flow: initialize device → choose PIN → confirm recovery phrase. Use a PIN you can remember but that isn't trivially guessable like '1234'.

When selecting a PIN, avoid reusing the same PIN across services. Consider a PIN pattern or passphrase combination that is memorable but not reusable across different accounts. A safe strategy is to combine digits with a short personal mnemonic only you know. 🔐

Step 3 — Recovery Phrase: Write It Down ✍️📜

The recovery phrase is typically 12, 18, or 24 words. The words must be written exactly and in the same order they appear. Read each word aloud as you copy it to your notepad — this reduces errors. After writing them down, the device will prompt you to confirm a subset of words to ensure they were recorded correctly. This simple confirmation step makes a huge difference in long-term security. 👍

Practical tips: use a pencil so you can erase mistakes, store the sheet horizontally to avoid curling, and consider a metal backup plate if you live in humid or variable climates. Also, consider splitting the phrase among trusted co-guardians only in extreme cases — but do this with full awareness of trust trade-offs. ⚖️

Step 4 — Finalize & Test ✅

Once the device confirms your PIN and recovery phrase, set a small test transaction (if the device is for crypto usage) with a low amount to learn the signing flow and confirm everything is working. Check addresses carefully: the device will show the address and you should compare it to the address shown on your host app. Signing on-device is the core security benefit — it keeps private keys isolated. 🔍

If you are doing this for a demonstration only, simulate the final step by performing mock confirmations. If the device is live, start conservatively and gradually increase use as you gain confidence. Celebrate your first signed transaction with an emoji. 🎉

Accessibility & Visual Options ♿️

This demo includes large buttons, high-contrast headings, and a gentle purple palette to maximize legibility. If you need a further color contrast, use the browser's accessibility settings or enable high contrast mode. The mirror toggle is primarily cosmetic and educational; it allows designers to evaluate layout directionality and readability when an interface is reflected.

Troubleshooting & FAQ ❓

Q: What if I forget my PIN? A: The device will usually require a recovery phrase to restore. If you forget the PIN but have the recovery phrase, you can restore on a new device. Q: Can I store the recovery phrase digitally? A: No — avoid photos and cloud storage. Q: What if I suspect tampering? A: Do not use the device and contact the official support channels from the vendor for guidance. Always verify firmware signatures before proceeding with any update.

For detailed troubleshooting steps, consult the official manufacturer documentation. In this demo we do not link to external resources, but these rules are universal: verify sources, maintain offline backups, and treat your seed phrase like a physical key. 🗝️

Design Notes — Fonts, Color, and Mirror UX 🎨

This demo intentionally uses Unbounded for headings — an expressive and slightly rounded display font — and Inter for the body to maximize readability. The purple color direction creates feelings of calmness and trust while remaining playful. The page has a "mirror" toggle implemented via CSS transform: transform: scaleX(-1). When mirrored, inner containers are flipped back to keep text legible while the layout appears reflected — this lets you see how side-by-side design elements behave in mirrored contexts.

Typography choices matter: a bold specialty font for titles gives strong brand personality; neutral, open sans-serif for body keeps long-form reading comfortable. Use increased letter-spacing and line-height when mirroring to maintain optical balance.

Final Words — Stay Secure, Stay Curious ✨🔒

Security is both technical and human. Training yourself to respect recovery phrases, PINs, and firmware validation is the single best habit you can build. Keep learning, test safely, and apply thoughtful design patterns in your projects. This simulated onboarding is meant to be an approachable starting point — use it to plan how you would build a real onboarding experience that is clear, secure, and welcoming. 🌿

Thanks for trying this purple mirror demo. If you want further customization — like adding animations, exporting to a printable recovery card, or embedding help videos — just ask and the demo can be extended. ❤️🚀
