You can find different ways to obtain reference to the Telerik client-side object in this documentation article: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/general-information/get-client-side-reference.

You can also use the OnClientLoad client event of combobox to get reference to its client object:

<script>
function OnClientLoadHandler(sender)   {
    var combo;
    combo=sender;
}
</script>

<telerik:RadComboBox RenderMode="Lightweight" 
    ID="RadComboBox1" 
    runat="server" 
    OnClientLoad="OnClientLoadHandler" .../>
