Sec. 4-210.
Whenever a petition has been executed pursuant to Sections
4-401 or 4-501, and prior to the examination for the purpose of certification,
the person conducting this examination shall inform the person being examined
in a simple comprehensible manner: that he is entitled to consult with
a relative, friend, or attorney before the examination and that an attorney
will be appointed for him if he desires; that he will be evaluated to
determine
if he meets the standard for judicial or emergency admission; that he does
not have to talk to the examiner; and that any statement made by him
may
be disclosed at a court hearing on the issue of whether he meets the standard
for judicial admission.
If the respondent is not so informed, the examiner shall not be permitted
to testify at any subsequent court hearing concerning the respondent's
admission.
