Don't touch the mirror or the shutter curtain, clean the outside with a slightly damp cloth, clean the inside with canned air like "dust-off", clean glass surfaces with lens cleaner and lens tissue but use a very very light touch. I lost my FTb 30 yrs ago on a rock climbing trip but I seem to remember that it used the 1.5 volt silver oxide batteries but after 30 yrs I could br wrong. If it does they are available everywhere, if it's the 1.3 mercury then they can only be found in Canada, but a company called Wein makes a replacement that works but only for about 4 months compared to a yr for the original

Be careful not to shoot compressed air directly on the shutter. Such a concentrated blast can damage it.
