The RS should simply say that electronic devices on the field and in the dugouts may be used for coaching and scorekeeping purposes only, and cannot be used to communicate or record game action.

Yes. Not everyone with the need for a line up is keeping score. The coach may also keep a list of signals for the batters and pitchers, scouting reports, etc. that were previously kept on paper
