The VEPP-4M electron-positron collider is being prepared for a new high-energy physics run in the 1.5 - 2.0 GeV energy range. During the first run (2001-2002), precision mass measurements of the J/psi and psi' mesons using the KEDR detector have been carried out with a record accuracy. To provide high performance, efforts for investigation and further development of the machine have been done. The most important results are described. A record absolute accuracy of energy measurement was achieved using the resonant depolarization method. A possibility to use this method for the absolute energy calibration in tau-lepton mass measurements is studied. For the first time, the Moeller polarimeter based on an internal polarized gas jet target has been developed and successfully used at the VEPP-3 booster storage ring. A system of energy measurement using Compton back-scattering has been put into operation. To increase the machine luminosity, operation with dipole wigglers is studied, and a project of turn-by-turn feedback system to suppress beam instabilities has been started. For beam diagnostics, a multi-anode photomultiplier tube and a white light coronograph were installed. The VEPP-4M operation experience with the longitudinal magnetic field within the KEDR detector is also described.

The transverse beam profile monitor based on Hamamatsu multi-anode photomultiplier with 16 anode strips is used at the VEPP-4M collider. The monitor is applied to study turn-to-turn dynamics of the transverse beam profile during 131 000 turns. The device provides a permanent measurement of synchrotron and betatron frequencies as well.
