The dials turn but dont change the value if you have the lock set.
On the D3/D3S you push the L button top plate left side and turn the command dial and it locks shutter speed same with sub-command dial but it locks the aperture.
In D800/D810 you set it via a menu item or reconfigure a fn button to act as an L button.
This feature is very useful when shooting in Manual exposure mode as well as you get no changes if your hand slips onto the dials when changing cameras.

I cant see the menu offerings for the D500 hence the need for the manual.
