I ordered and receive a Note 2 from Handtec which came with a European charger in the box (expected). Handtec also included a separate universal charger that has plugs for the US, EU and UK but I am completely confused as to how it works. It does not have a cable on it and I don't see anywhere to plug in a USB cable. At the risk of looking like a complete fool because I'm missing something obvious, does anyone know how to use this thing?

Help Universal Charger?

LOL I just realized that myself. When I first opened the thing up I thought "thats nice of them to include" then tossed it aside. Now I see that it's quite the silly contraption.
Take the Samsung charger that came with the Note 2 and cram it into the back of the universal charger. Then unlock the US style wall prongs by flipping the unlock slider. Then that whole monster goes into the wall.
Unfortunately, it barely stays in the wall for me. Luckily I have plenty of chargers laying around.
At least they gave us something I guess

LOL... I knew I had to be missing something. Yeah this thing isn't very usable but it was nice of them to include. I think the charger that comes with the note 2 is 2amps instead of the normal 1amp though so I will have to order a US version once that is possible. You can of course use any charger but it will take longer to charge up.
Thanks for the help in figuring that out!
