Attention:

When you directly update F55 and F5 to V2.1 from V1.15 and earlier, you must do “All Reset” in System menu. Otherwise V2.1 software becomes unstable. If you want to maintain menu setting before update, please save “All File” in File menu and load it after updating. If you had already updated F55 and F5 to V1.20 and later and did “All Reset”, you don’t need to do “All Reset” again.
