Hey Guys,
Thanks for all the input.
I was looking in the 702T Users Manual and & found this:

"24 Hour Run (mode):
=2E..the generator will also re-jam if the time-of-day clock is reset.
Once jammed, the generator will run continuously from the timecode
clock, not the time-of-day-clock."

The funny thing here is that when I enter the menu to reset the TOD
clock it actually reads the current time. I mean, the TOD clock
actually keeps better track of time better than the TC generator (as
expected)
Wouldn't it be useful if the TC generator could grab TOD clock & re-
jam (actual time) after a couple of hours in order to display accurate
TOD? Isn't this the way Boomrecorder generates TOD timecode?

Thanks,
Sergio
