How do you change zones on the Baofeng 1701?

This is a really basic question, but I haven't gotten an answer for it.

On a Baofeng 1801 You can change zones on the radio by holding down the Fn key, then pushing the up/down arrow keys.
How do you change Zones on a 1701 with OpenGD77 installed?

Thanks,

UI is the the same on all OpenGD77 radios

Change zone is SK2 + Up/Down on all radios

Radios which don't have left / right buttons, then the Up / Down buttons are mapped to left / right and the rotary control is used for Up/Down, hence on the UV380 , change zone via SK2 + Rotary control

But the DM-1701 has P1 and P2 which are mapped to Left/Right, hence it has Up/Down buttons Hence its the same as on the DM-1801

I'm not sure why there would be any confusion ??
