Quick Guide
The CIO NovaPort TRIO II is a 140W GaN 3-port USB-C charger designed for efficient, automatic power distribution. It features NovaIntelligence technology to detect connected devices and allocate power accordingly, eliminating the need to select specific ports.
Safety Precautions
- Do not disassemble or modify the product.
- Keep away from water and do not touch with wet hands.
- Do not use in high-temperature environments or near flammable substances.
- Stop using immediately if the product makes unusual noises, generates abnormal heat, or emits an odor.
- Do not drop or subject the product to strong shocks.
- Ensure the power plug is fully inserted into the outlet.
NovaIntelligence Power Allocation
This charger automatically identifies the type of connected device and delivers optimal power. When charging three USB-C devices simultaneously, the system automatically allocates power within a total maximum of 127W (e.g., 67W+30W+30W or 45W+45W+30W) based on the device combination.
NovaEngine and NovaSafety 2.0
NovaEngine: Utilizes dual GaN (Gallium Nitride) chip technology for high conversion efficiency, reduced heat generation, and a compact design.
NovaSafety 2.0: An advanced safety system that includes constant temperature monitoring and automatic temperature adjustment to prevent overheating and ensure product durability.
Specifications
- Model: CIO-G140W3C-N2
- Input: 100-240VAC, 50-60Hz, 2.0A
- Max Output: 140W
- Supported Protocols: PD3.1, PD3.0, PPS

Troubleshooting and Notes
- Momentary Disconnection: You may notice the charging turn on and off several times when connecting multiple devices. This is normal operation as the charger determines the appropriate voltage for each device.
- Unstable PC Charging: If PC charging is unstable when using multiple ports, try charging with a single port.
- Compatibility: Manual power allocation is not possible. Charging at maximum power may not be possible depending on device compatibility. Ensure you use a PD/QC compatible cable for PowerDelivery/QuickCharge.
Practical help
Common problems
PC charging is unstable when multiple ports are used
Try charging the PC using a single port.
Charging turns on and off repeatedly when connecting devices
This is normal behavior as the charger negotiates voltage for each device; wait for the process to complete.
Device not charging at maximum power
Ensure the device is compatible with the required PD/QC specifications and that you are using a compatible cable.
Before use
- Check the USB connector shape and orientation before inserting.
- Ensure the connected device supports PD/QC charging.
- Use a PD/QC compatible cable for fast charging.
- Verify the outlet is a standard household wall outlet.
- Ensure the product is not exposed to water or high temperatures.
Specs in practice
- NovaIntelligence
- Automatic power distribution system that detects device needs and allocates power accordingly.
Images and diagrams
- The manual provides examples of power distribution, such as 67W+30W+30W or 45W+45W+30W, depending on the combination of devices connected to the three USB-C ports.
Model compatibility
- Manual adjustment of power allocation is not possible.
- PD charging requirements for PCs vary by manufacturer; contact your PC manufacturer for specific voltage/power needs.
