Waiving 6th amendment rights
A suspect waives his 6th Amendment rights -- right to attorney -- the same way he waives his 5th amendment rights -- by hearing his rights and waiving them.
If the arrestee, has his 6th amendment rights only because he has an arrest warrant out for him, he may be warned and questioned.
If, however, an arrestee has gone through his initial appearances and has asserted his right to an attorney, he may not be questioned.
