To connect the Cobra CB radio directly to your vehicle's battery, follow these steps:
1. Before making any power connections, verify that the source you are connecting to is a 12V DC power source.
2. Connect the red wire (+) from the CB radio's power cable to the positive terminal of the battery.
3. Connect the black wire (-) from the CB radio's power cable to the negative terminal of the battery.
4. Connect the power cable to the back of the CB unit marked "Power," ensuring the correct polarity.
5. If you prefer to prevent the unit from being left on accidentally, you can connect the power cable to a switched accessory fuse. This allows you to operate the CB radio without running the engine.
Note: For older or vintage vehicles, visually check the battery connection before installing the CB radio to determine which terminal is positive (+) or negative (-).
Please refer to the Cobra CB radio and antenna installation guide for more detailed instructions and illustrations.
