Changing the default cryptocurrency unit on your Trezor Model T2 is a straightforward process that allows you to customize your experience based on your preferences. Whether you prefer to see your Bitcoin balance in BTC, mBTC, or even satoshis, the Trezor Model T2 accommodates these changes easily. This guide will walk you through the steps to adjust the default unit for your cryptocurrencies, ensuring you can view your assets in the most convenient format for you.

Accessing the Trezor Suite

To begin, you need to access the Trezor Suite, which is the software interface that connects to your Trezor Model T2. Ensure your Trezor Model T2 is connected to your computer and that you have the latest version of the Trezor Suite installed. Open the Trezor Suite application on your computer. You will be prompted to enter your PIN on the Trezor device to unlock it. Once unlocked, you will see the main dashboard of the Trezor Suite.

Navigating to the Settings

From the main dashboard, locate and click on the Settings icon, usually found in the top right corner of the interface. This will open a new window with various options for customizing your Trezor experience. Scroll through the options until you find the Cryptocurrencies section. Click on it to proceed to the next step.

Selecting the Cryptocurrency

Within the Cryptocurrencies section, you will see a list of all the cryptocurrencies supported by your Trezor Model T2. Find the cryptocurrency for which you want to change the default unit. For example, if you want to change the unit for Bitcoin, click on Bitcoin (BTC). This will open the settings specific to Bitcoin.

Changing the Default Unit

Once you are in the settings for the specific cryptocurrency, look for the Unit option. This is where you can change the default unit of measurement for the cryptocurrency. For Bitcoin, you might see options like BTC, mBTC, bits, and satoshis. Click on the dropdown menu next to Unit and select the unit you prefer. After selecting your preferred unit, make sure to click Save or Apply to confirm the changes.

Verifying the Change

After saving the changes, navigate back to the main dashboard of the Trezor Suite. You should now see the balance of the cryptocurrency you modified displayed in the new unit you selected. For example, if you changed Bitcoin from BTC to satoshis, your Bitcoin balance will now be shown in satoshis. Verify that the unit has been correctly updated by checking the balance display.

Changing Units for Multiple Cryptocurrencies

If you want to change the default unit for multiple cryptocurrencies, repeat the process outlined above for each cryptocurrency. Each cryptocurrency has its own set of units, so you can customize the display for each one individually. For instance, you might want to display Ethereum in ETH and Litecoin in LTC. Simply navigate to each cryptocurrency's settings and adjust the unit as desired.

Using the Trezor Model T2 Mobile App

If you prefer to use the Trezor Model T2 mobile app, the process to change the default unit is similar. Open the Trezor mobile app on your smartphone and connect your Trezor Model T2 via Bluetooth. Once connected, navigate to the Settings menu within the app. From there, find the Cryptocurrencies section and select the cryptocurrency you want to modify. Adjust the Unit setting as described above and save the changes. The mobile app will then display the cryptocurrency balance in the new unit.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you encounter any issues while changing the default unit, ensure that your Trezor Model T2 and the Trezor Suite are up to date. Sometimes, outdated software can cause problems with settings. If the unit does not change after saving, try restarting the Trezor Suite and reconnecting your device. If the problem persists, you may need to reach out to Trezor's customer support for further assistance.
