Trouble with calendar

Newbie here, sorry if this has already been asked but I need assistance.

I have a Coby MID 7125 Kyros tablet. It has a calendar already loaded, but for some reason I can't get it to open.

When I try to open the calendar it asks to add an exchange account.

I put my gmail e-mail address in the box for my e-mail, then my password I use for my e-mail.

Click next and it then shows server settings. For some reason it puts a forward slash in front of my name. At the bottom of the screen it has two boxes. The first one is checked and says Use secure connection. The second one says accept all SSL certificates and is unchecked. When I hit next it says set up could not finish, unable to open connection to server.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.
