Instruction 416.30, Waiver, explains to the jury that waiver can be oral, written, or stem from the parties conduct. To waive a right, the claimant 1) had to know the supposedly waived right existed; 2) knew the defendant could have performed the waived right; and 3) freely and intentionally gave up the right.
The idea behind a limiting instruction is that it is better to admit relevant and probative evidence, even in a limited capacity, and take the chance that the jury will properly apply it in its decision making, rather than to exclude it altogether.
Either before or after the closing arguments by the lawyers, the judge will explain the law that applies to the case to you. This is the judges instruction to the jury. You have to apply that law to the facts, as you have heard them, in arriving at your verdict.
Jury instructions are instructions for jury deliberation that are written by the judge and given to the jury. At trial, jury deliberation occurs after evidence is presented and closing arguments are made.
The comparable Judicial Council instruction (number 202) reads: Some evidence proves a fact directly, such as testimony of a witness who saw a jet plane flying across the sky. Some evidence proves a fact indirectly, such as testimony of a witness who saw only the white trail that jet planes often leave.

Related Q&A to US Jury Instruction

For jury instructions to be effective, they must be clear and simple. Sentences should be short; instruc- tions should contain no more than a few sentences, cover only one topic, and be directly related to the circumstances of the case (they should not be abstract statements of the law).
Jury instructions are given to the jury by the judge, who usually reads them aloud to the jury. The judge issues a judges charge to inform the jury how to act in deciding a case. The jury instructions provide something of a flowchart on what verdict jurors should deliver based on what they determine to be true.
