well, leaving out the batteries ensures the Bluetooth is disabled.
Acctually, <R34> specifically allows for batteries integral to COTS computing devices, with the example of laptop batteries given.
<R35> reenforces this rule by making an exception for "a battery contained in a COTS computing device"
I think it would be the same for the NXT, since it is a COTS computing device.
