Where the defendant is not represented by counsel, on the completion of the examination of the witnesses on the part of the prosecution, the following caution or words to the like effect shall, before he or she is called as a witness, be addressed to him or her by or under the direction of the Court:
“Having heard the evidence against you, do you wish to be called as a witness and give evidence in answer to the complaint? You are not obliged to give evidence unless you wish, but if you are called, the evidence you give will be evidence in the case.”
