12 Volt Accessory Power Cord

Powering the 19 MINI AM/FM
There are three power options to use and operate the 19 MINI AM/FM CB:
1. From the 12V accessory port in the vehicle,
2. Hardwired directly to the battery, or
3. Hardwired to the fuse box.
Cobra includes a 12V power adapter with the 19 MINI AM/FM CB that allows you to power up quickly and
conveniently. In addition, the 12V power accessory is a modular design to easily connect and disconnect
from the CB. This also allows you to change power from the 12V accessory option to hardwired power as
needed. This design also allows you to use your 19 MINI AM/FM CB in multiple vehicles.
Powering Your 19 MINI AM/FM with the 12V Power Adapter:
1. Select a location to mount the CB using the instructions form
the "Mounting and Hardwire Installation" section of this manual
(page 4).
2. Connect the 12V CLA cord to the CB. Make sure the connection is
secure (shown left).
3. Plug the 12V power adapter into the vehicle’s 12V accessory port
(shown left) the power ON the 19 MINI AM/FM.
Powering Your 19 MINI AM/FM with the Direct-to-Battery Hardwire Kit:
If the 12V power adapter is not preferred to power the CB, or if a
12V port is not not an option in the vehicle, the 19 MINI AM/FM can
be installed direct-to-battery or to the fuse with the hardwire kit
included with the product.
The hardwire kit is a 48" DC power cord and utilizes the same
connector as the 12V adapter accessory to easily connect and
disconnect from the 19 MINI AM/FM.
The hardwire kit provides a 5' connection from the CB directly to the
battery or fuse box, with the same easy-connect modular design.
WARNING: Do not operate the CB without an antenna. This may damage the transmitter.
Total Cord Length: 60” (5’)
