4.0 Pre-Flight Check
1. The SwagDrone 210-UP is recommended for pilots 14 and up who have piloted drones
before.
2. Only fly the SwagDrone 210-UP in dry weather with low wind conditions. Please do not
fly in rain, snow, or heavy fog.
3. Always choose large open fields for flying. Check local laws and ordinances for legal
flying areas.
4. To avoid injury from high-speed propellers, always keep a distance of 10 feet from the
drone when the motor is unlocked. Always lock the motor before handling the drone.
5. Do not fly close to high-voltage power lines, cellphone, or radio towers as these may
disrupt your control signal.
6. Always check local laws before flying. Never fly over crowds, near animals or children,
or within sports stadiums.
5.0 Battery Charging
STEP1. Connect the power-cable to the
wall-outlet. The GA009 charger
accepts voltage from 100V to 240V.
When the LED charger has been
connected, it will turn green.
STEP2. Insert the LiPo battery plug into the
GA009 charger.
STEP3. During the charging process,
the LED will display solid red.
When done, the LED will begin
flashing a pattern of RED-GREEN.
This indicates that the charger is
balancing the battery.
STEP4. When the yellow light flashes, there
may be a problem with the charger
or battery. Immediately stop
charging if you see a yellow light.
* Refer to Section 11 for details for the GA009 Balance
Charger.

lock in the video transmitter, and tighten in the rotating collar with the included wrench.
Propeller Installation
Fix the CW Propellers onto the clockwise
motor according to the direction of blue
arrow, and fix the CCW Propellers onto
the counterclockwise motor according to
the direction of orange arrow. Tighten the
propellers manually and make sure that all
propellers have been properly fastened.
* Install the propellers by hand and tighten the motor with the included wrench.
* You can use the wrench to help remove broken props in the event of a crash.
Battery installation
* PROCEED WITH CAUTION. The drone
will immediately receive power to all
parts including the propellers once
the battery is connected. Do not allow
loose clothing, hair, fingers or any
other part of your body to come in
contact with or near the propellers
during battery installation.
Place the anti-slip mat into the battery
compartment. Place the battery on top and
position it so that it is evenly balanced.
Gravity Center Adjustment
Grab the drone by the COG (center of gravity) line and move the battery forwards and
backwards until the quad balances.
* Always extend the Receiver Antennas before flying. Do not fly without properly unfolding
the antennas.

7.0 Pre-Flight Setup
* Place the drone in a wide openspace with the rear facing you. This position is known as
"Tail In".
* Put the function switches to the 0 position, and place the trims and dials to the middle
position. Move the throttle to the lowest position, and turn on the Remote Control.
* Video receiving equipment is needed to display image and OSD information. Refer to
Sections 10.3 to 10.7.
* The 210-UP uses a low voltage alarm beeper.
* The OSD provides a visual reference for the remaining battery power.
* When the voltage reaches below 14 volts, the right LED will flash quickly and the beeper
alarm will sound.
* The 210-UP is designed for FPV racing, as there is no automatic landing mode.
* Please land as soon as possible once you hear the the alarm or the OSD shows 14 volts.
7.1 Binding Your SwagDrone
* Do not move the drone during binding.
STEP1. Turn on the remote control. Make sure all the
function switches and that all the trims/knobs
and throttle sticks are at the lowest position.
STEP2. Place the drone on a horizontal plane and
connect the drone's power, so that the LEFT
red LED light will turn on. Make sure the
positive and negative ports are correctly
connected.

STEP3. When the right red LED flashes slowly before turning off, this indicates that the
drone has been successfully bound.
7.2 Locking & Unlocking the Motor
Motor Unlock
STEP1. After binding the remote control
to the SwagDrone 210-UP,
check that all the trims are
neutral, and the throttle stick is
all the way down with a display
indicating 0% throttle. Check
that ALL the switches are in the
UP position.
STEP2. Gently push the THRO Stick down, move the RUDD Stick to the left side, and hold
on for more than two seconds. On Mode 2, the THRO (throttle) and RUDD (rudder) is
on the same stick.
STEP3. When the motor unlocks, the RIGHT red LED light will turn on, and the buzzer will
issue a sound, indicating that the motors are unlocked. Be very careful at this point,
as pushing the throttle up will start the motors.
* You can test this by pushing the stick up a little; the motors should start.
Motor Lock
* After successfully binding, the motor is locked by default.
STEP1. Gently move the RUDD Stick to
the right side, push the THRO
Stick down, and hold on for more
than two seconds. On Mode 2,
the THRO (throttle) and RUDD
(rudder) is on the same stick.
STEP2. When the motor locks, the RIGHT red LED light will turn on, and the buzzer will
issue a sound, indicating that the motors are locked.

Features
+The GA009 utilizes microcomputer chips to monitor and control the charging process. LED
indicator lights that help display the charging status in real time.
+GA009 can be used to charge 3S & 4S (11.1V &14.8V) Li-ion and Li-Polymer battery packs.
Instructions
* The GA009 can only be used to charge a 3S or 4S Li-On or LI-Polymer battery. It is
forbidden for you to simultaneously charge two or more sets of batteries. Either the
charger or battery may be damaged.
* While charging, the GA009 should be placed in a dry and well ventilated place and be
placed far away from heat sources and flammable and explosive substances.
* The battery should be removed from the helicopter when charging. In order to avoid the
risk of accidents, never leave the charger unsupervised during the charging process.
* DO NOT CHARGE YOUR BATTERY IMMEDIATELY AFTER ITS FLIGHT IS FINISHED, OR THE
TEMPERATURE HAS NOT FINISHED FULLY COOLING. OTHERWISE THE BATTERY WILL RISK
COMBUSTING.
* ENSURE THAT THE BATTERIES ARE AT THE CORRECT POLARITY BEFORE CHARGING.
* Avoid dropping or roughly handling the battery during the process of charging. Dropping
and roughly handling the battery will result in short circuiting.
* Please use only the original charging equipment (wall adapter and GA009 Balance
charger) and battery. Please change the batteries one at a time
* If the battery is kept in the charger for a long time after being fully charged, it will
automatically begin to discharge. When the charger detects that the voltage of individual
cells is lower than the rate voltage, it will recharge until it is full charged again. Frequently
charging and discharging will shorten the lifetime of your battery.
