Safety Information and Precautions
To ensure safe operation and prevent damage to the product or connected devices, please observe the following precautions:
- Do not disassemble, modify, or repair the product yourself.
- Avoid exposing the product to water, moisture, or extreme temperatures.
- Do not drop, impact, or apply excessive force to the product.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Ensure the charger is properly plugged into a compatible wall outlet.
- The NovaSafety 2.0 function automatically adjusts power output based on internal temperature. While this ensures safety, continuous full 100W output may be limited in specific, high-demand scenarios (e.g., industrial use or electronic load testing requiring constant 100W). For typical daily use with laptops and smartphones, this adjustment will not noticeably affect charging speed.
Setup
- Unpack the Charger: Carefully remove the CIO NovaPort SOLO II 100W charger from its packaging.
- Connect to Power Outlet: Extend the foldable plug and insert the charger firmly into a standard AC wall outlet (100-240VAC, 50-60Hz).
- Connect to Device: Use a compatible USB-C to USB-C cable (not included) to connect the charger's USB-C port to your device's charging port.

Operating Instructions
The CIO NovaPort SOLO II 100W charger is designed for simple plug-and-play operation. Once connected, it will automatically detect your device's charging requirements and deliver the optimal power output.
- Charging Process: When your device is connected, charging will begin automatically. The charger supports Power Delivery (PD) for fast charging compatible devices.
- Power Output Adjustment (NovaSafety 2.0): The charger's NovaSafety 2.0 technology monitors its internal temperature. If the temperature rises due to high load, the charger may temporarily reduce its output to prevent overheating and ensure safety. This is a normal function and helps prolong the product's lifespan. For most devices, especially laptops, the initial high power demand decreases after a certain period, so this adjustment typically does not impact overall charging speed significantly.
- Foldable Plug: For portability, the AC plug can be folded into the charger body when not in use.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Disconnect the charger from the power outlet and all devices before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
- Storage: Store the charger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Fold the plug for compact storage.
- Cable Care: Avoid bending or twisting the charging cable excessively, as this can damage the internal wires.
