How to program the KT-LCD3 and KT-LCD8H color screen. This is a detailed instructional video covering both screens. I walk through each setting and what they actually mean! The manuals can be a bit hard to understand and I haven't found a good explanation anywhere - so here you go.

Quick setting guide:

The LCD screen has a handlebar mounted switch with three buttons, UP, DOWN, and a center Power button.

1. Start with battery and handlebar switch on. The LCD will be off.

2. Turn on LCD by pressing and holding POWER​ button. Holding the UP button will turn on the backlight if needed.

3. Within 5 seconds of turning LCD on, press and hold BOTH UP​, and DOWN​ buttons for a few seconds until the center speed indicator starts to flash.

4. The flashing field is the maximum speed the motor will spin in Kilometers per hour. 32 kph is 20 mph. Set that to any value you want using UP​ and DOWN​. Press POWER ​to advance to the next setting

5. The flashing number at the bottom is the wheel size as in “29 in”. Use the UP ​and DOWN​ buttons to set. (29​ in for the stock Sondors tires). Press POWER​ to advance to next setting.

6. The flashing units of measure show if the display is configured for metric or imperial measures. Again, use UP ​and DOWN ​if you need to change it. You may have to cycle through until you find the right combination. Press POWER​ to advance to next step.

7. At this point, nothing will be flashing. But the display still shows the settings for max speed, tire size, and metric/imperial units. Press both UP ​and DOWN​ to advance to setting the P values.

8. The bottom line of the display changes to a flashing “P1 87” to show the current value of the P1 parameter. Use the UP​ and DOWN​ buttons to change the value to 100​for the Sondors ebike. When done, press POWER to advance to the next value.

9. The P2 value will flash now. Again us UP ​and DOWN ​buttons to set the value to 6​.

10. Continue on to set any other desired parameters. Brief explanations are as follows. For detailed instructions, see the LCD manual.
