The two Exosat observations of 4U 1702 - 42 are reported. In one of them three bursts are detected. The bursts and the spectral and fast-temporal behavior of the persistent emission are analyzed. It is concluded that 4U 1702 - 42 is an atoll source, which was in the banana state when the bursts were present. The characteristics of the burst are similar to those of 4U 1636 - 53 in the banana state.
