Question about the Akashic Lens Magic Item

I'm trying to figure out exactly how this works.

Quote:

Usage worn; Bulk 1

Worn as a contact lens, spectacles, or other eyewear, these
magically treated lenses project a special data display that
uses rudimentary AI and rapid eye tracking to quickly cycle
through information until you find what you want to know. [u]It
grants you a +1 item bonus to Recall Knowledge checks made
with the skill chosen when you use Database Scan.[/u]
Activate—Database Scan [two-actions] Frequency once per 10 minutes;
Effect The lens casts a 1st-rank akashic download that uses
the lens instead of a comm unit.
Type commercial; Level 3; Price 555 credits
Type tactical; Level 9; Price 5,555 credits
The akashic download is 3rd rank.
Type advanced; Level 15; Price 55,555 credits
The item bonus is +2, and the akashic download is 4th rank.

Every 10 minutes, I can Database Scan for some skill, with a bonus dependent upon the level of the appropriate akashic download spell.

Does the underlined text mean I get the listed bonus to any Recall Knowledge check using that skill after I have used Database Scan, until I use Database Scan for a different skill?


That's how I read it, yeah. I wasn't really thinking about the fact that it stacks with the bonus from the spell itself, that's interesting
