Rule notes

Official Runlings:

When this Equipment card joins your crew or Away Team, select which skill the Enterprise ENGINEER- and SCIENCE-classification personnel present add. They retain that skill until they are no longer present with the tricorder, or until you re-select the skill added by that tricorder (see skills - modifying). If more personnel of appropriate classification join the crew or Away Team, they add the same skill already selected.

Because this card is not cumulative, you may not use two copies to add two skills to the same personnel. If you combine two personnel groups, each with a skill added from a Classic Tricorder, choose one tricorder to add its selected skill to all applicable personnel.
