    This card has an clarification:

    This Equipment card may be placed on a deactivated (disabled) holographic personnel. It is still being “worn” even if the hologram is deactivated. “While worn, does not count as an Equipment card” means it cannot be targeted as an Equipment card (e.g., it is immune to Disruptor Overload, Common Thief, stealing, etc.).

    Holograms have always been a powerful addition to any Space icon mission-oriented deck. Most of the ships in "the big league" have a Holodeck so you're still pretty flexible, despite some of the limitations. Up until and including the Voyager expansion, the game has 11 personnel with often a very attractive combination of skills. Do you want these fine crewmen stuck on the Holodeck? I didn't think so.

    Under the revised hologram rules introduced with the Voyager expansion, the Mobile Holo-Emitter is the only card that gets your personnel off the ship. When "worn" by a personnel, that personnel can move like any other regular personnel. Revive Settlersimage and Answer Distress Call are just two of the Voyager-environment missions that explicitly benefit from some -aid. Watch out for Disruptor Overloadimage, and don't leave the Emitter unattended. As long as you have someone wearing it you've got nothing to worry about. You're even safe from organ-stealing Vidiians!
