After a currency update the following error message is shown: E70 EXT IR SENSOR. After pressing [START], error message E60 EXT IR SENSOR is shown.

In this case the receiver board needs to be updated as well.  This update should be part of the update package.  Please verify if the update package that you have downloaded contains both the currency (mainboard) update and the receiverboard update for you device. Follow the included update instructions.
