If/and(?) for check boxes

How do I write a JavaScript for the following please:

If PurchaseCheckBox AND Service1 are checked, automatically check ServiceCover

So if Service is checked on it's own, ServiceCover stays unchecked.

Thank you!

Put this script in both "PurchaseCheckBox" and "Service1" fields as 'Mouse UP' action (Run a JavaScript):

var pcb = this.getField("PurchaseCheckBox").valueAsString;
var s1 = this.getField("Service1").valueAsString;
var SC = this.getField("ServiceCover");

SC.checkThisBox(0,(pcb!=="Off"&&s1!=="Off") ? true : false);

Do you wish for 'ServiceCover' to be checked manually, or it needs to remain unchecked until both PurchaseCheckBox AND Service1 are checked?
