  Comments:
sense 2 does not seem right (or is too vague to be of any help)
"understand and accept the task (act on the task)"
it's mostly used in the past tense ("got it", "will do"), see progressive for good translations

  Comments:
gg5 has a third sense for "have a knowledge [command] of…; know how to do." 
that's kind of like our current entry, although it seems to me that a broader "to 
know; to understand" covers "to have knowledge of" pretty well

There is another meaning to this phrase.  In the context I found it, neither "to be informed" nor "to have thorough knowledge" fits.  But the example sentence for this entry --  謝るぐらいの礼儀は彼女も心得ていた -- is more like what I was looking for. It's translated there as "to have the decency to do", but I think it could also be something like "to be wise enough to do" or "to realize it's the right thing to do".

[I'm sorry if you get this suggestion twice. My Internet connection dropped partway through my first submission.]
