Aircraft Profile
HG TAKE mainly consists of the flight system, the positioning system, the
communication system, the power supply system and the camera system.
This section will explain the functions of each of the parts.
On/Off Switch and Power Indicator
The On/Off Switch has an inbuilt Power Indicator.
Hold the On/Off Switch for 3 seconds. Wait until the Power Indicator starts
flashing blue, then remove your finger and HG TAKE will switch on. After a
few seconds, HG TAKE will make a noise alerting you that the ESC has
turned on.
After connecting to the app, the Power Indicator will turn solid blue.
Hold the On/Off Switch for 3 seconds. Wait until the blue light of the Power
Indicator goes out, then remove your finger and HG TAKE will switch off.
GPS Positioning
HG TAKE uses a GPS&GLONASS dual-mode satellite positioning system.
The satellite positioning system is GPS based, with GLONASS acting as a
supplementary system.
During outdoor flight, HG TAKE uses GPS positioning when the number of
searched-out GPS satellites ≥8.
Optic Flow and Ultrasonic Positioning
HG TAKE will use the optic flow and ultrasonic positioning during indoor flight.
If the GPS signal is weak (the number of searched-out GPS satellites<8)

during outdoor flight, the aircraft will automatically use optic flow and
ultrasonic positioning for supplement.
The optic flow and ultrasonic positioning system combines dynamic image
analysis to horizontally position the aircraft during flight and ultrasonic
distance measurement to determine the distance from the ground. It
positions the aircraft during indoor flight and assists the GPS positioning
system during outdoor flight.
The optic flow and ultrasonic positioning module is located on the base of the
aircraft. It consists of an optic flow camera and an ultrasonic sensor.
Usage Conditions and Restrictions
The optic flow and ultrasonic positioning system is used for indoor flight. It is
also used for outdoor flight if the GPS signal is weak. The operating height
range for this positioning system is 0.5-3m.
When using this positioning system, after the aircraft has taken off and
ascended to 0.5m, it will determine if the requirements for using this system
have been met. If they have not, it will initiate landing. If the requirements are
not met for this system during flight, the aircraft will also initiate landing.
Requirements for the optic flow and ultrasonic positioning system: When
using this system, the area underneath the aircraft needs to have a clear
textured surface that is not too sparse or too dense. Users can put a textured
carpet or cloth on the ground, table or any large, horizontal surface to provide
the required textured surface.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The optic flow and ultrasonic positioning system may not work under
these circumstances, please use with caution:
◎Above highly reflective surfaces;
◎Above water or transparent objects;
◎Above people or moving objects;
◎In areas with rapidly changing/flashing lights;
◎Above very bright or very dark surfaces;
◎Above objects that easily absorb ultrasonic waves;
◎Above surfaces without clear textures or with too sparse or too
dense textures;
◎During fast flight at low levels (0.5m or less), the optic flow and
ultrasonic positioning system may not work.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
◎Ensure that the lens of the optic flow camera is clear.
◎Because the ultrasonic positioning system may be disturbed by
ultrasonic waves emitted by other ultrasonic equipment, please do not
use HG TAKE near other ultrasonic equipment, including other
drones.
◎The Ultrasonic Sensor will emit ultrasonic waves that are inaudible
to humans but may make some animals nervous. Please do not use
HG TAKE close to animals.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Propeller
HG TAKE has 4 sets of 3-inch foldable Propellers. The propeller blades are
already mounted; users only need to expand the Arms before flight. When
you're done flying, fold the Arms and the blades into the base of the aircraft to
prevent damaging them.
The blades have either “H” or “G” on the top to indicate in which direction they
spin, as shown in the following figure:

Replacing the Propeller Blades
Blades must be replaced with ones that spin in the same direction. Blades
with an “H” on top must be replaced with ones that also have an “H”； Blades
with a “G” on top must be replaced with ones that also have a “G”，as in the
above figure.
How to replace the propeller blades:
Use a wrench or a screwdriver to loosen the screws, remove the old ones
and mount the new ones onto the base, as shown in the following figure:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please ensure that the propeller is tightly screwed in, to prevent
against the screws coming loose and the propellers blades coming off
during flight. It will need to be retightened after every 10 hours of
flight.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Battery
The battery is designed specifically for use with HG TAKE. It has a rated
capacity of 1450mAh and a nominalvoltage of 11.4V.
The battery’s major characteristics are as follows:
